The aim of this project is to develop an intensive hands-on general biochemistry laboratory in which fundamental subjects are covered in a thematic fashion from amino acids to proteins to nucleic acids. Topics in this "learn by doing" laboratory are coordinated with the accompanying lecture course to reinforce subject matter. Students will work in small groups, will have a close working relationship with the instructor and will give informal presentations of their work to their peers. Not only will this enhance their knowledge of the fundamentals of biochemistry, but it will also help develop their reasoning and data interpretation skills as well as their presentation abilities. The equipment requested (spectrophotometers, fluorometer, electrophoresis setups and computers) lend themselves to such a small group format.

该项目的目的是开发一个密集的实践通用生物化学实验室，其中以主题方式涵盖从氨基酸到蛋白质再到核酸的基本科目。 这个“边做边学”实验室的主题与随附的讲座课程相协调，以强化主题内容。 学生将以小组形式进行工作，与教师保持密切的工作关系，并向同伴非正式地介绍他们的工作。 这不仅可以增强他们对生物化学基础知识的了解，还有助于培养他们的推理和数据解释技能以及表达能力。 所需的设备（分光光度计、荧光计、电泳装置和计算机）适合这种小组形式。
