CHEM 310L - Biochemistry Lab

1 Credits
2 Contact Hours
This laboratory course builds upon laboratory skills commonly used by biological laboratory professionals. Project based laboratory instruction includes isolation and characterization of proteins and other biomolecules; computational biochemistry including enzyme kinetics and inhibition, data acquisition/statistics, genomic and proteomic databases, and molecular modeling; spectroscopy (UV/VIS), chromatography (gel filtration, ion exchange, affinity), electrophoretic techniques (PAGE, agarose gel); and genetic engineering techniques, DNA isolation, sequencing, cloning, PCR, and microarrays. Course structure emphasizes research application of techniques and instrumentation.
