Protein Synthesis - Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes *suitable for home teaching*
From Nelson Thornes, these activities encourage students to examine the process of protein synthesis. They look at the differences in this process in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Students are asked to consider the detailed mechanisms and assess the benefits of the different methods. These biology resources...
Proteins are polymers of amino acids, and they do all sorts of incredible things. They give structure to living things, carry messages and molecules around our bodies, support the immune system and catalyse chemical reactions, and they are used widely in industry and medicine too. In these articles, we explore...
Produced by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, these materials help students to understand the process of protein synthesis from transcription of DNA to translation into an amino acid sequence. Students are able to view an interactive animation of the process and also reinforce their understanding by interpreting...
Proteins *suitable for home teaching*
These resources explore proteins by their different function, with examples of how they give structure to living things, carry messages and molecules around our bodies, support the immune system, catalyse chemical reactions, and their use in industry and medicine:
Structure and movement How...
Protoplast isolation
This protocol describes the process of isolating protoplasts from plant cells and then fusing the protoplasts in order to carry out further investigations.
Plants from distantly related or unrelated species are unable to reproduce sexually as their genomes are incompatible. Protoplasts from unrelated...
The ProtoSnap series is a new way to prototype your project without a breadboard. Everything is wired together on a single board, which makes it easy to explore the possibilities...
Protozoa are single celled organisms with a defined nucleus and live in many different habitats. These animations, from the Wellcome Trust, show how certain protozoa have evolved complex parasitic life cycles to exploit the human body, with serious consequences for health.
Animations look at parasites...

Our Protump cards are useful for learning about and comparing different proteins |
Proving Pythagoras’ theorem
This lesson develops the concept of producing and evaluating geometrical proofs. In particular students work on:
- Interpreting diagrams
- Identifying mathematical knowledge relevant to an argument
- Linking visual and algebraic representations
- Producing and evaluating mathematical...
