The methods of cell fractionation and macromolecule purification and the        subsequent detailed analysis which they make possible are essential for         future biologists to comprehend and practice.  The acquisition of an            ultracentrifuge and two rotors significantly enhances the ability of            Skidmore's Department of Biology to teach these key concepts in cell and        molecular biology.  The ultracentrifuge makes possible a series of              laboratory experiments to purify organelles (e.g. golgi, microsomes) or         macromolecules (DNA, RNA, proteins) for further characterization by             biochemical and structural methods -- experiments that were not possible        without the instruments secured through this grant.  The new equipment          considerably expands and updates the laboratory experience of the               students, improving their understanding of cell structure and function,         the molecular basis of cell function, and current research techniques.          Courses from the sophomore to senior level are being affected.
