Chem 406 Web Termpapers - Fall 1999

Web Termpaper Assignment

The Assignment:

You are hereby assigned the task of writing a web-based term paper on the enzyme that you drew from the hat. The enzymes are all involved in either glycolysis, gluconeogenesis or lactic acid fermentation. If you have forgotten which enzyme you drew, click here. The term paper should be a minireview that deals with the structure-function relationships of the enzyme. The primary reasoning behind making this term paper a web-based one is that it provides you with the ability to illustrate your term paper with interactive three-dimensional molecular models using the Chime plugin along embedded scripts. Also, it will allow us to publish your efforts for world-wide consumption, instead of having them collect dust in the dark reaches of my office. Keep in mind, the content of your paper will be the primary factor used to evaluate it. Using the interactive three-dimensional molecular models produced using the Chime plugin is currently one of the best ways of communicating information about macromolecular structures. During the construction of your web term paper, you will inevitably be forced to learn something about the structure-function aspects of your enzyme, in order to communicate this knowledge to others. Specific items that you should include in your term paper include:

Literature Resources:

Your paper should contain 7 to 10 references. Resources for developing a set of references include:

Web Page Development Resources:
