The High Speed Centrifuge in Biochemistry and Biology

化学系正在购买一台高速离心机，供化学和生物专业的学生使用。生物学导论学生将从植物组织中分离出叶绿体，以便通过研究希尔反应来了解生物化学生命过程。生物化学专业的学生关注的是酶学。例如，他们从菠菜叶中分离出二磷酸核酮糖羧化酶，为研究其催化作用和各种物质对其的抑制作用做准备。该设备也被用于学生进行个人研究项目。

The Department of Chemistry is purchasing a high speed centrifuge for use by both chemistry and biology students. Introductory biology students isolate chloroplasts from plant tissues in order to gain an understanding of biochemical life processes via study of the Hill reaction. Biochemistry students are focussing on enzymology. For example, they isolate the enzyme ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase from spinach leaves preparatory to the investigation of its catalytic action and inhibition by various substances. The equipment is also being used by students undertaking individual research projects.
