Phylogenetic Relationships Among Plants
|
||||
|
|
|
|||
|
Students interested in evolution, plant phylogenetics, plant ecology. |
||||
|
Students will examine an important plant enzyme,Rubisco, and learn about its function and evolution in higher plants. The primary activity will be one or two lab periods to introduce students to resources. The overview will be will be a "prelab" using the write-up at the Protein Database,www.pdb.org,where extensive information about the function and structure of this enzyme is included. Students will be given a specific access protocol and ask to capture specific images to be mailed to the instructor prior to class meeting. In class student will access a list of RbcL sequences in Fasta format and insert them into Workbench. An alignment will be prepared by each student and mapped onto sturctural map of spinach RbcL. |
