Improved Laboratory Instruction in Biology and Chemistry with Modern Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy

现代紫外可见记录分光光度计和电子分析天平被用来改进细胞生理学和有机化学课程。在细胞生理学实验中，蛋白质表征、酶动力学、DNA定量、蛋清溶菌酶的色谱纯化和分析得到了提升。在有机化学实验室中，紫外可见光谱学提高了学生对结构与光谱关系的理解，确定了酮的系数分布，并研究了氢键的光谱结果。受资助者为该项目提供与NSF奖金相等的资金。

A modern ultraviolet-visible recording spectrophotometer and an electronic analytical balance are used to improve courses in cell physiology and organic chemistry. In cell physiology experiments in protein characterization, enzyme kinetics, DNA quantitation, and chromatographic purification and assay of egg white lysozyme are upgraded. In the organic chemistry laboratory ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy enhances student understanding of the relationship of structure to spectra, the determination of the distribution of coefficients of ketones, and the study of the spectral consequences of hydrogen bonding. The grantee provides funds for this project that are an equal match for the NSF award.
