Molecular Biology Instructor Guide: Integrating Leadership Roles, Artificial Intelligence and Google Tools to Explore Molecular Biology: Insights into Hydroxylamine Oxidoreductase and NE0961 Proteins from Nitrosomonas europaea expressed in Escherichi

Scientific Thinking, Leadership, Research, Google Tools, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are essential skills to be included in the course curriculum. All together or individually, these skills can advance knowledge, scientific communication, critical thinking, creativity, leadership, and management abilities. In this Instructor Guide, in which the primary resource is the Research article and secondary resources are- Google tools, Leadership roles and Artificial Intelligence, we provide an overview of leadership roles, leadership skills, research article reading & understanding and AI can be integrated into class activities to help students understand and advance application of molecular biology concepts and knowledge in the bacterial system. Through the activities, students develop an understanding that molecular biology is an integrative, cross-disciplinary, and multifaceted discipline to study prokaryotic systems. Using research skills and leadership roles, students use the research article as a major resource to learn about Nitrosomonas europea, Escherichia coli, regulatory processes of transcription and translation of HAO and NE0961 genes. By studying the expression of these genes, students can apply these concepts by performing independent literature searches as an extension activity to other species of Nitrosomonas to further understand molecular biology and its application. This lesson highlights the nature of central dogma of molecular biology and also provides introduction of key concepts in transcription and translation.
