Biochemistry Laboratory

Catalog description

This is a laboratory companion course coordinated with CHM3040 . This course applies the basic concepts of biological chemistry to the laboratory setting. Emphasis is on inquiry-based experiments that ask students to explore fundamental concepts and experiments in biochemistry. Topics include experiments that focus on critical biochemical topics including biological buffer systems, amino acid/protein structure and properties, as well as the content of food and other biochemical topics of interest. Throughout this course, an evidence-based approach to exploration of organic laboratory experiments that are of interest to students in the nutrition and health science fields is emphasized.
