This laboratory serves to illustrate the content presented in CHEM 420 Biochemical Methods. Experiments focus on methods commonly used in the separation, analysis and characterization of biomolecules and cellular structures including electrophoresis, sedimentation, dialysis, filtration, chromatography, absorption and emission spectroscopy, NMR and mass spectrometry. Emphasis will be placed on standard laboratory calculations, record keeping, critical and statistical evaluation of data and experimental design and written and oral presentation of experimental results.
