Investigations in Enzyme Biochemistry I

Catalog description

This course will involve training in how to design, conduct, and analyze independent research in Enzyme Biochemistry. For this course the student will purify and study native or recombinant enzymes. Studies will include specific activity determinations during purification and analyses of the steady state kinetics of enzyme catalyzed reaction for the purified enzyme. These studies will be expected to answer new questions and to generate novel data, as opposed to reproducing experiments that have been performed before.
