Tuesday, February 21, 2023 297a function. Students following the BASIL curriculum use a combination of sequence and structure alignment tools to study these structures with the goal of identifying possible enzymes. They then use molecular docking to predict what model substrates fit near a proposed active site. Students can produce the target enzymes in the lab using standard wet-lab biochemistry techniques for expression and purification, and they then perform kinetic assays with model substrates selected from their docking studies. We have successfully used this curriculum in biochemistry lab courses for majors and non-majors. The curriculum is modular and can be used as a whole or individual parts may be incorporated into an existing course-either lecture or lab. Curriculum materials are available free-of-charge at basilbiochem. org. We are currently investigating how this curriculum can be used in a variety of academic settings, and we welcome new collaborators. We can offer synchronous support via virtual meetings and asynchronous support via Slack. This project is supported in part by NSF IUSE 2141908.
