CHEM 504 – LESSON PLAN ASSIGNMENT #1 – PROTEIN STRUCTURE
STUDENT: Kate Walsh
MCEP Cohort 6
DATE: July 3, 2007
TARGET AUDIENCE: AP Chemistry Students
MOTIVATION: As a part of the required AP Chemistry curriculum, a certain amount of
organic chemistry must be covered. What follows is a quotation from the College Board’s
Acorn Book for AP Chemistry which describes the organic chemistry requirements:
“3. Introduction to organic chemistry: hydrocarbons and functional groups (structure, nomenclature, chemical
properties)”
Thus the topic of protein structure would fit into the course quite well as a part of the
organic chemistry unit. I typically take a tri-faceted approach to the organic chemistry unit:
functional groups and naming, structures including isomerization, and reactions
unique/common to organics. I have always felt challenged in that the organic chemistry unit
seems disjointed and out of flow with the rest of the course. It seems ideal to use the
student’s previous knowledge of amino acids and peptides from biology to help give some
relevance to the otherwise seemingly out of flow organic chemistry unit. Amino acids are
something with which they should be familiar from biology, although they very likely did not
realize they are a hybrid of amines and carboxylic acids. Furthermore, they were introduced
to peptide bonds as a part of their study of proteins in biology, again without any discussion
of dehydration reactions which is a crucial organic reaction type covered in the AP
Chemistry course. Another essential organic reaction type covered in AP Chemistry
involves the formation of polymers. The AP Chemistry students were certainly introduced
to the concept of a polypeptide or protein in biology but likely did not learn about them in
the wider context of polymers and polymerization reactions.
I am also interested in using 2o protein structure as an example of hydrogen bonding which
is a part of one of the most enduring concepts in the AP Chemistry course, intermolecular
forces. I am always looking for ways to reinforce and exemplify this very important type of
interaction. A reference back to their study of proteins in biology should provide just such
an opportunity. I will incorporate this as a part of an extension (PIM-like) follow-up to the
POGIL which is part of my lesson.
PLACEMENT IN THE COURSE : These lessons would be presented as a part coverage
of organic chemistry. It would also follow the course’s coverage of hydrogen bonding as a
part of the inter-/intramolecular forces unit.

CHEM 504 – LESSON PLAN ASSIGNMENT #1 – PROTEIN STRUCTURE

STUDENT: Kate Walsh

MCEP Cohort 6

DATE: July 3, 2007

TARGET AUDIENCE: AP Chemistry Students

MOTIVATION: As a part of the required AP Chemistry curriculum, a certain amount of

organic chemistry must be covered. What follows is a quotation from the College Board’s

Acorn Book for AP Chemistry which describes the organic chemistry requirements:

“3. Introduction to organic chemistry: hydrocarbons and functional groups (structure, nomenclature, chemical

properties)”

Thus the topic of protein structure would fit into the course quite well as a part of the

organic chemistry unit. I typically take a tri-faceted approach to the organic chemistry unit:

functional groups and naming, structures including isomerization, and reactions

unique/common to organics. I have always felt challenged in that the organic chemistry unit

seems disjointed and out of flow with the rest of the course. It seems ideal to use the

student’s previous knowledge of amino acids and peptides from biology to help give some

relevance to the otherwise seemingly out of flow organic chemistry unit. Amino acids are

something with which they should be familiar from biology, although they very likely did not

realize they are a hybrid of amines and carboxylic acids. Furthermore, they were introduced

to peptide bonds as a part of their study of proteins in biology, again without any discussion

of dehydration reactions which is a crucial organic reaction type covered in the AP

Chemistry course. Another essential organic reaction type covered in AP Chemistry

involves the formation of polymers. The AP Chemistry students were certainly introduced

to the concept of a polypeptide or protein in biology but likely did not learn about them in

the wider context of polymers and polymerization reactions.

I am also interested in using 2o^ protein structure as an example of hydrogen bonding which

is a part of one of the most enduring concepts in the AP Chemistry course, intermolecular

forces. I am always looking for ways to reinforce and exemplify this very important type of

interaction. A reference back to their study of proteins in biology should provide just such

an opportunity. I will incorporate this as a part of an extension (PIM-like) follow-up to the

POGIL which is part of my lesson.

PLACEMENT IN THE COURSE : These lessons would be presented as a part coverage

of organic chemistry. It would also follow the course’s coverage of hydrogen bonding as a

part of the inter-/intramolecular forces unit.

LESSON FOCUS: Proteins are polymers formed through a dehydration mechanism.

PRE-REQUISITE KNOWLEDGE

  • Understanding of amino acids/amino acid structure- This is covered in the biology

course which is a pre-requisite for AP Chemistry as well as in the organic section of

the AP Chemistry course itself.

  • Understanding of peptide bonds – This is covered in the pre-requisite biology

course.

  • Understanding of proteins (polypeptides) – This is covered in the pre-requisite

biology course.

PRE-CLASS ASSIGNMENT

  • Handout entitled “Organic Chemistry” is typically distributed to students prior to a

long weekend, school vacation, or one of 3 annual junior class retreats in which

several students will miss 3 or more days of class. (In order to cover the required AP

Chemistry curriculum, I typically asks students to do the majority of the organic

chemistry background work on their own and hence the placement at a time when I

will not be seeing them for a long stretch.)

  • Students are asked to complete the examples and questions in the packet of notes

prior to returning to class.

IN-CLASS ACTIVITIES (70 minute AP Chemistry period)

  • DO-NOW EXERCISE – “Functional Groups Identification Quick Quiz” (5 mins)
  • Review “Functional Groups Identification Quick Quiz” and field student questions.

(10 mins)

  • Instructor leads the completion of questions 1-4 on the “Organic Nomenclature”

worksheet. (5 minutes)

  • Instructor cold calls on students until the entire “Nomenclature Worksheet” is

completed. (10 minutes)

  • Students will likely run into trouble when they reach the final two questions. A

classwide discussion will be necessary to deal with this confusion. (15 minutes)

  • The instructor should ask the students to think about where they might

have seen a compound like this before.

  • Instructor asks each student to do their best to name the second to last

compound.

  • Instructor circulates and reports all unique names on the board.
  • The instructor then asks students to try to discuss and come to a

consensus on one of the chosen names or a revised name as necessary.

The instructor should remind students to think about where they might

have seen these compounds before! (Additional hints might include,

think biology, what functional groups are present, etc.)

  • The desired connection is that students realized they saw these as

amino acids in biology.

Organic Chemistry

Key Terms:

Hydrocarbon = a compound consisting of hydrogen and carbon

Saturated hydrocarbons = hydrocarbons containing only single

bonds

Unsaturated hydrocarbons = hydrocarbons containing multiple

bonds

Cyclic compounds = compounds in which the bonds form a ring.

Aromatic hydrocarbons = a special class of unsaturated cyclic

hydrocarbons, i.e. benzene

Carbonyl group = a carbon atom double bonded to an oxygen

atom.

C O

Polymers = large chain like molecules which consist of repeating

monomer units.

Simply start with cyclo-

Use the same numbering and naming system. Number the ring with

one at the carbon of the primary substituent. If there are double or

triple bonds these are the primary substituents.

One important special case is benzene (systematic name: 1,3,5-

Cis-trans isomers – isomers which differ by the arrangement of

substituents around a double bond. When the substituents are on the

same side of the double bond they are called cis- and on opposite

sides they are called trans-.
