The Department of Chemistry and Geology at Mankato State University has         recently acquired a high speed centrifuge and a liquid scintillation            counter for use in the improvement of undergraduate instruction in              biochemistry. The major objective is to revitalize the biochemistry             program by implementing a senior level "project oriented" laboratory            course. In this course, students learn to work as a team to solve a             specific research problem involving the characterization of a plant RNA         virus. The students design an experimental strategy to solve the                assigned problem including learning how to use the literature, planning         and organizing experiments, performing a wide range of preparative and          analytical biochemical techniques, and interpreting and communicating           data.
