Experiments

        The Laboratory section of this course will introduce you to a number of techniques commonly used in a biochemical laboratory.  They will also help to reinforce the concepts presented in the lecture section of the course as well.  Follow the links to the specific experiments. The procedures you will need are contained on these web sites.  Be sure to print a copy of the experiment to bring with you to class.  Also, be certain to read the experiment before coming to lab. Answer any pre-lab questions.  You must had these in before lab begins! This way you will be able to maximize the time in the lab actually doing the experiment, and not waste time figuring out what you are trying to do.  The table below lists lab dates and experiments to be performed on those dates.
