Understanding “Structure  and Function” relationships  is foundational to learning biology,  chemistry, and biochemistry. However, exploring  various biological data resources to integrate information  to understand structure-function relationships is not commonplace  in current undergraduate curricula. This project brings together biology and chemistry educators to develop case studies centered around molecular representations to facilitate deeper learning in biology and chemistry and bridge these disciplines. This presentation will focus on a hemoglobin case study that was developed and used in introductory chemistry and a one-semester biochemistry course. Discussion will focus on implementation of using the same case at different levels of instruction, ideas for other content that could be used to bridge the disciplines of biology and chemistry using molecular representations and how you can get involved in the Molecular CaseNet.
