Protein Synthesis Bead Model 
Plasma Membrane Model
Students create a bracelet from a DNA sequence that codes for specific colored beads. Students demonstrate understanding of transcription and translation if their beaded bracelet is correct.

Powered by iRubric Protein Chain Model
Synthesizing proteins in the form of a bracelet
  Unacceptable

Your bracelet has multiple mutations and/or a STOP codon in the wrong place.

2 pts

Needs Work

Your bracelet has one or two mutations.

4 pts

Good

Your bracelet had the correct amino acids with silent mutations.

8 pts

WOW!!

Your bracelet was created perfectly with no mutations.

10 pts

Accuracy

Unacceptable

Inaccurate representation, many mutations shown and poor understanding demonstrated.
Needs Work

Representation of a protein chain structure not fully accurate, some confusion seen,, mutations visible in bracelet.
Good

Generally accurate representation of a protein chain with very minor mistakes in translating the DNA code to RNA.
WOW!!

Highly accurate representation of protein chain structure correctly coded from DNA sequence. Shows excellent understanding.
Structure

Unacceptable

Numerous visible mutations.
Needs Work

Errors in or missing amino acids in the protein chain. Understanding of synthesizing proteins and function needs further development.
Good

Adequate understanding of synthesizing protein structure. No visible mutations. Most structures labeled appropriately.
WOW!!

Excellent understanding synthesizing proteins, no mutations. All structures labeled appropriately.
Background Work

Unacceptable

Many errors were made in written work on transcribing and translating DNA into RNA into an amino acid chain. The mutations are visible, therefore many amino acid beads are incorrectly ordered.
Needs Work

Minor errors were made in written work on transcribing and translating DNA into RNA into an amino acid chain. There are 1-2 visible mutations.
Good

Minor errors were made in written work on transcribing and translating DNA into RNA into an amino acid chain. The mutations were silent, therefore all amino acid beads are still correctly ordered.
WOW!!

No errors were made in written work on transcribing and translating DNA into RNA into an amino acid chain.
Mutations Defense

Unacceptable

Poor understanding of protein synthesis. Cannot clearly explain how the beaded bracelet would look if mutations were present, and what causes them.
Needs Work

Fair understanding of protein synthesis. Can explain how the beaded bracelet looks different than the teacher model due to mutations in their own model.
Good

Adequate understanding of protein synthesis. Can somewhat explain how the beaded bracelet would look if mutations were present, and what causes them.
WOW!!

Excellent understanding of protein synthesis. Can clearly explain how the beaded bracelet would look if mutations were present, and what causes them.
