CHEM 3322L - Biochemistry Lab

1 Credit(s)

This laboratory course explores fundamental techniques of biochemistry-based experiments. Students start by learning micro pipetting and will progress to formulating and testing their own hypothesis in lab. Students will analyze and present their laboratory findings and record their work in a laboratory notebook. Scripted lab experiments include protein expression and purification, biomolecule quantification techniques, enzymatic and kinetic assays, spectroscopy of biomolecules, SDS-PAGE, dialysis, protein concentration, and bioinformatics. The latter half of the course is devoted to students learning the scientific method as they conduct an original research project within the lab.
