Chemical Biology Lab

(4 Credits)

This is a one-semester laboratory class aimed at emphasizing key techniques in chemical biology. The laboratory modules will emphasize techniques in (a) protein expression and analysis such as chromatography, gel electrophoresis, and pull-down assays, (b) biophysical chemistry such as spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance and (c) nucleic acid molecular biology such as DNA purification, mutagenesis, and transformation of plasmids to bacterial cells.
