BCHM 32200 - Analytical Biochemistry II

Credit Hours: 2.00. Modern biochemical techniques for the purification and characterization of biological macromolecules, with a focus on proteins and nucleic acids. This is a project-oriented course where students begin by purifying an enzyme by chromatography and then characterizing various aspects of the enzyme and its gene throughout the semester. Emphasis will be placed on quantitative analysis of properties such as enzymatic activity, molecular interactions, and gene expression as well as the principles of designing assays to measure biochemical phenomena. Use of bioinformatics tools and common computer software for data mining and to facilitate data analysis will be integrated. The course will culminate with preparation of a manuscript-style report describing the enzyme/gene characterization. Typically offered Fall Spring.
