Lecture-free biochemistry

Lecture-free biochemistry: A Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Approach.

Biochemistry courses at Seattle University have been taught exclusively using process oriented guided inquiry learning (POGIL) without any traditional lecture component since 1997. In these courses, students participate in a structured learning environment, which includes a preparatory assignment, an in-class activity, and a follow-up skill exercise. Instructor-designed learning activities prov...

Biochemistry of visual pigment regeneration: the Friedenwald lecture.

Phototransduction and the visual cycle play complementary roles in vertebrate vision. Phototransduction is initiated by the photoisomerization of 11-cis-retinal bound to opsin and ultimately results in a change in the release of neurotransmitter by photoreceptor cells. The visual cycle restores the product of photoisomerization, all-trans-retinal, to the 11-cis configuration and allows the rege...

Biochemistry of Oxygen and Its Free Radicals

Thrombolytic treatment in acute myocardial infarction achieves coronary patency in most patients.' Mortality in groups treated early after the onset of symptoms is significantly reduced,' but left ventricular function does not always improve.5 Myocardial necrosis during the period of vessel occlusion is partly responsible for the irreversible ventricular impairment that occurs even when the ves...

Comparison of Lecture and Blended Teaching Methods on Learning and Satisfaction of Medical Students in Biochemistry Course

Introduction: Considering the importance of biochemistry for medical students, its teaching methods are important. Using the appropriate teaching methods, teachers are trying to improve the effective learning and knowledge retention of students. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of lecture and blended teaching methods on learning of medical students in biochemistry course and a...
