Note | Students must advise the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of their order of preference for the alternative practical sessions and the other subjects they will be taking, during the second last week of the long vacation. |
Credit Points | 6.25 |
Coordinator | Mr G R Parslow |
Corequisites | Biochemistry and Molecular Biology 521-211. |
Semester | 1 (view timetable) |
Contact | 36 hours practical work (three hours a week) |
Subject Description | By the end of the program the student should have developed observational, organisational and practical skills in obtaining data using modern biochemical procedures, and in analysing, reporting, evaluating and interpreting experimental findings. Students should also have developed an appreciation of how practical studies of biochemistry and molecular biology can augment the theoretical studies of the discipline. The content includes: Introduction to modern methods of analysis with an emphasis on computer-based spectrophotometry; common techniques used in the purification and analysis of macromolecules, particularly proteins of biochemical and clinical importance; assay and data analysis of enzyme activity; introduction to the use of computers for data collection, presentation and analysis. A conditional exemption from experiments that use animal materials may be granted in some circumstances by the Head of the Department. |
Assessment | Continuous assessment (65%) and tests during the practical session times (35%). |
