High Performance Liquid Chromatography in the Undergraduate Biochemistry/Molecular Biology Laboratory

正在开发几个新的生物化学/分子生物学模块，利用高效液相色谱法和相关的复杂软件，在目前的课程中增加量化和开放式调查设计。新的实验或现有实验的扩展，将把教员目前的研究转移到实验室，将包括测定糖蛋白的碳水化合物部分，膜脂的脂肪酸组成，以及多肽的测序。此外，本科生的自主学习项目现在将涉及更多的现代技术。受众包括生物化学、生物物理学、遗传学和动物学的学生，主要是正规实验室课程和独立研究的学生，其他生命科学系的非主修学生，以及参加生物化学和生物物理系特别外展计划的中学教师和学生，如NSF-Young Scholars和NIH少数民族研究学徒计划。

Several new biochemistry/molecular biology modules are being developed utilizing high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and associated sophisticated software to add quantification and open-ended investigative design to the present curriculum. New experiments or extensions of present experiments, transferring current research of faculty into the laboratory, will include determination of the carbohydrate moiety of glycoproteins, fatty acid composition of membrane lipids, and sequencing of peptides. In addition, undergraduate independent study projects will now involve more current technology. The audience includes students in biochemistry, biophysics, genetics, and zoology, primarily in formal lab courses and independent research, non-majors in other life sciences departments, and secondary school teachers and students in special outreach programs of the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, such as NSF-Young Scholars and NIH minority research apprentice programs.
