Instrumentation to Improve Undergraduate Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, and Cellular Biology Laboratories

该项目将超离心机纳入圣约翰大学和圣本尼迪克特学院的本科生生物和化学课程。为了说明离心机的分离原理，以及蛋白质、DNA和RNA的分离或提纯，正在购买一台带有垂直和摆动桶的超速离心机。包括分子生物学、生物化学和细胞生物学在内的多门课程的学生以及参与个别研究项目的学生正在获得有关超速离心机使用的第一手知识。这所大学将捐赠一笔相当于该奖项的金额。

This project incorporates an ultracentrifuge into the undergraduate Biology and Chemistry programs at Saint John's University and the College of Saint Benedict. An ultracentrifuge with vertical and swinging buckets is being purchased to illustrate the principles of separation by centrifugation, as well as the isolation or purification of proteins, DNA's and RNA's. Students in a variety of courses, including Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, and Cell Biology, as well as students involved in individual research projects, are gaining firsthand knowledge of the uses of the ultracentrifuge. The university will contribute an amount equal to the award.
