CHEM 345L Biochemistry Laboratory
Accompanies CHEM345. Emphasizes modern instrumentation such as Western blotting, column chromatography, HPLC, and spectrophotometric methods. The first third of the semester focuses on experimental skills acquisition and the final two-thirds is an open-ended research experience in a current topic in Biochemistry, including experimental design and written science communication. The learning outcomes align with the concepts covered in the class and extend to application of those topics to the laboratory. The grade from this laboratory component is factored into the grade earned for the required CHEM345 corequisite.
