Laboratory for Biochemistry

Undergraduate

This CURE (Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience) provides a hands-on opportunity to design, build, and test mutant enzymes using modern molecular biology and biochemistry technologies. In this wet-lab class, students learn to read primary literature, model protein structures, perform DNA mutagenesis, transform bacteria, and conduct protein purification and characterization assays. Students analyze enzyme kinetic and thermal stability data and contribute to a real-world research mission of designing novel enzyme catalysts. Prerequisite: BIOL 1010 . SC ½ Course cr HTBA
