Abstract:
Virtual laboratory simulations can contribute to the educational objectives related to practical classes, especially in situations of online or hybrid teaching. We present a proposal for laboratory activity involving the quantification of proteins with the biuret reaction and measurement by visible light spectrometry. The student will be able to develop the procedures and obtain the absorbance values for calculations and discussions using the ProtVirt software, integrating its use with the teacher's pedagogical proposal.
