CH 346 - Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Techniques (3)

This course uses modern biochemical and molecular biology techniques to help students develop hands-on technical skills and scientific critical thinking skills that are necessary in the laboratory. Students will develop basic laboratory skills and then use these techniques to develop an original course-based undergraduate research experiences (CURE).  Techniques may include: buffer preparation, computer imaging of proteins, PCR, primer design, bacteria transformation, gene cloning, gel electrophoresis, DNA sequencing, restriction digest, enzyme kinetics, and protein purification and analysis. Two 3-hour blocks of laboratory per week, which will include at least 1 hour of lecture time per week. Prerequisite: CH 216 . Corequisite: BI 318  or BI 342 CH 342  or BI 345 CH 345 . SP.
