BCM202: Laboratory Methods in Biochemistry / Faculty of Applied Sciences

This course emphasized students the techniques commonly used in a biochemistry. Techniques such as how to use pipettes, prepare buffer and measurement of pH, calculate dilutions and use spectrophotometry to calculate concentrations. Students will also be introduced to the selected experiments covering the study on the properties of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. In addition, students should be able to understand the basic biochemical techniques including protein fractionation, electrophoresis of proteins and ability to calculate enzyme kinetic values. The course
is supplemented by laboratory demonstration and presentations. This will ensure that students have the knowledge and skills in conducting the experiment.
