The Role of Ubiquitin and the Proteasome (Age 15+ Years)

Ubiquitin marks proteins for degradation. Learners will understand the ubiquitin-proteasome system's role in protein degradation and its importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis while playing the DEGRADATOR - A Protein Degradation Game. This lesson is designed for learners aged 15+ years.
