Integrating and Updating Biochemistry/Molecular Biology Experiments

为生物化学/分子生物学专业开设的一门新的综合实验课程将把现有生物化学课程的内容与新开发的分子生物学组成部分结合起来。本课程的前半部分将重点介绍生物分子的分离和表征。下半场将集中于分子生物学和基因操作方面的技术。包括柱层析、高速冷冻离心机、冷藏实验室柜、凝胶电泳仪、微离心机、培养摇床和细菌培养箱在内的新设备将用于突变技术、突变分析、噬菌体纯化、转座子、细菌接合、质粒分离、限制性内切酶消化、DNA克隆和转化实验。学院将提供50%的配套资金。

A new integrated laboratory course for biochemistry/molecular biology majors will combine contents of the existing biochemistry course with a newly developed molecular biology component. The first half of the course will focus on isolation and characterization of biomolecules. The second half will concentrate on techniques in molecular biology and gene manipulation. New equipment including column chromatography, a high speed refreigerated centrifuge, a refrigerated laboratory cabinet, gel electrophoresis equipment, microcentrifuge, incubator- shaker, and bacteriological incubator will be used for experiments in mutagenesis techniques, mutant analysis, bacteriophage purification, transposons, bacterial conjugation, plasmid isolation, restriction endonuclease digestion, DNA cloning, and transformation. The college will provide 50% matching funds.
