Biological Chemistry Lab

1 Credit · Level: Undergraduate

Biological Chemistry Laboratory immerses students in authentic inquiry-based biochemistry. Working in small teams, students investigate the function of hypothetical proteins using experimental and bioinformatics approaches, including protein expression, purification, enzyme assays, and data analysis. Emphasizing research skills, scientific communication, and collaboration, this course prepares students for advanced study in biochemistry and related fields. This laboratory course is required for all Biology, Neurobiology, Biology of Global Health, and Environmental Biology majors when taking BIOL 1510 as part of their major, but is optional for students of other majors. This course requires co-enrollment in or prior completion of BIOL 1510
