San Mateo Biotechnology Career Pathway www.SMBiotech.com

Giving motivated teenagers and adults the skills to pursue several career and academic options.

Partnerships with Industry and Academia

Biotechnology is an opportunity to teach science in a way that results in science literacy & research skills & career awareness for virtually every student.

• Students learn the skills and gain the confidence and self-directedness that are necessary for independent research(science fair projects) and higher-level science courses.

• Students see meaning and application in their math, biology and chemistry.

• Students learn the science and business of biotech so that they are better prepared to make decisions about their futures and society.

QuickTime™ and a TIFF (LZW) decompressor are needed to see this picture.

The HRP Activities are found in Chapter 6 • Text - Chapter 6 and 14 • Lab Manual - Labs 6f-6h, 14a • Student CD Tutorials for basic skills • Course Planner/Instructor’s Guide

Biotech 3 HRP labs:

Peroxidase Assay • HRP extraction from HR Root • HRP assay using PAGE • HRP assay w/ TMB indicator • HRP used in ELISAs

Hydrogen Peroxidase Activity, in Different Samples, Measured by Bubbling

Sample Amount of Bubbling (5-->0)

How Do You Make the Phosphate Buffer?

You need 100 mL of a 25 m

M

NaH 2 PO 4 * H 2 0, pH 7 buffer.

conc. desired X volume desired X molecular weight = amount of solute in mol/L in L in g/mol in g Convert 25 m

M

= 0.025 m

M

and convert 100 mL = 0.1 L 0.025 mol/L X 0.1 L X 138 g/mol = 0.345 g NaH 2 PO 4 * H 2 0 0.345 g of NaH 2 PO 4 * H 2 0 is measured measured on a balance and put into an appropriate vessel. Then, solvent is added up to the 100 mL graduation.

100 mL add solvent (dH 2 0) to 75 mL Adjust pH to 7 and add dH 2 0 to 100 mL

0.345 g

NaH 2 PO 4 * H 2 0

HRP is 43 kD

My Professional Goals • Biotechnology programs in

every

high school, CTE center, and community college, tailored to the student population and industry and community needs • Aligned and articulated programs in HS and CC so that teenagers and adults have the same platform from which to enter specialized programs • To make it as easy as possible for educators to do the other 2
