Laboratory Experience in Undergraduate Biochemistry

作为一个新的生物化学学位项目的结果，将建立一个生物化学实验室。将在一系列精心挑选的实验中使用冷冻离心机和快速电泳系统，这些实验将为学生提供分离、纯化和处理生物大分子、膜和膜成分的表征、光谱学在生物分子研究中的应用以及放射性同位素在生物化学实验中的特殊作用的经验。实验的重点是对解决问题有用的物理生物化学方法。学生将获得在现代生物化学研究实验室中被认为是必不可少的仪器的实践经验，并将参与教学实验室中仪器的原创和新颖的应用。该大学将提供50%的配套资金。

A biochemistry laboratory will be developed as a result of a new degree program in biochemistry. A refrigerated centrifuge and rapid electrophoresis system will be used in a set of carefully selected experiments which will provide students with experience in the isolation, purification, and handling of biological macromolecules, characterization of membranes and membrane components, applications of spectroscopy to the study of biomolecules, and the special role of radioisotopes in biochemical experimentation. The focus of the experiments is on physical biochemical methods useful in solving problems. The students will receive hands-on experience with instrumentation considered essential in the modern biochemistry research laboratory, and will be involved in original and novel applications of instruments in the instructional laboratory. The university will provide 50% matching funds.
