Description

Biochemical experiments and analysis such as transport kinetics, DNA sequence analysis and manipulation, lipid isolation and characterisation. Safety, bioethical and library elements will be integrated into the coursework.

The course is recommended to complement BCHM301 and BCHM302, and for all those interested in learning about modern experimental techniques in Biochemistry. BCHM381 is required for a BCHM Hons or MSc degree. The course will run for 12 weeks, on Thursday and Friday afternoons. There is no end of year exam, but continuous in term assessment. The structure of the course is as follows.

What is this course designed to achieve?

1. To introduce you to some modern techniques in biochemistry, such as would be used in modern
   research laboratories.

2. To make you aware of the strengths and limitations of the techniques that you are using, the
   assumptions you are making, and the questions that you can (and cannot) answer.

3. To give you experience in the design and execution of a research project, how to construct a
   scientific hypothesis, and how to test it.

Prerequisites

BCHM201 (if taken prior to 2005) or BCHM281 or CHEM281
