UV-Visible Spectrophotometers to Upgrade Undergraduate Biochemistry Laboratories

获得扫描紫外可见分光光度计将导致本科生生物化学实验计划的显著升级。虽然实验室经验是加州州立大学洛杉矶分校本科生生物化学教育不可或缺的重要组成部分，但由于缺乏适当的仪器，涉及现代紫外可见分光光度测量的实验尚未实施。新设备将允许开发基于光谱学的实验，使学生熟悉与核酸和蛋白质的结构和功能有关的现代技术和概念。

Acquisition of scanning UV-visible spectrophotometers will result in a significant upgrading of the undergraduate biochemistry laboratory program. While laboratory experience is an integral and important part of undergraduate biochemistry education at Cal State L.A., experiments involving modern UV- visible spectrophotometry have not been implemented due to a lack of appropriate instrumentation. The new equipment will allow development of spectroscopy-based experiments that familiarize students with modern techniques and concepts relating to the structure and function of nucleic acids and proteins.
