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

几个新的生物化学/分子生物学模块正在 利用高效液相色谱法 （HPLC）和相关的复杂软件， 量化和开放式调查设计， 目前的课程。 新的实验或扩展 实验，将教师目前的研究转移到 实验室，将包括碳水化合物的测定 糖蛋白部分，膜的脂肪酸组成 脂质和肽的测序。 此外，本科 独立研究项目现在将涉及更多的电流 技术.观众包括生物化学专业的学生， 生物物理学，遗传学和动物学，主要是在正式的实验室 课程和独立研究，在其他生活非专业 科学部门和中学教师， 学生在特别推广计划的部门 生物化学和生物物理学，如NSF-青年学者和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.
