Biochemistry Lab II

Catalog description

This laboratory course is a continuation of CH 351 which features a Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) that engages students in an original research project. Topics may include bioinformatics, growing and isolating proteins in cellular systems, chromatography, electrophoresis, and protein pull-down assays. Students use a hypothesis which may have been developed in CH351 to design and perform experiments which address the hypothesis. Findings are reported in oral and written form. Course includes one hour of lecture and three hours of lab each week. Prerequisites: CH 350 and CH 351 with a grade of C or better.
