Practical Biochemistry 2 BIOCB2301 Islamic University-Gaza Faculty of Science Biochemistry department 2016-2017
Course Objectives This course aims to provide the students with an opportunity to develop their qualitative analytical skill. It is expected that, students upon completion of this course, will have a sound knowledge on important protocol, and techniques used widely in biochemistry lab, for example: extraction, isolation, purification, thin-layer chromatography, poly acrylamide gel electrophoresis.
Course Objectives Students will get adapted to team work. At the end of this course students will be familiar with “how” to use some apparatus in biochemistry lab, for example: pH-meter, kjeldahl apparatus, spectrophotometer.
