This project will result in the development of an undergraduate                 biochemistry laboratory course that emphasizes modern techniques and            instrumentation.  The laboratory course will complement the ongoing             biochemistry lecture course, and will enhance substantially the                 biochemistry education of students at the University of North Carolina          at Wilmington.  This project will provide a suite of instruments                (including an automatic recording titration system, a liquid                    chromatography system, a densitometer, a preparative ultracentrifuge,           and an electrophoresis unit) to be used primarily in the new                    biochemistry laboratory course and also in physical and analytical              chemistry courses.  Students will gain experience with buffer and other         reagent preparation, protein assays, protein purification, protein and          DNA electrophoresis, enzyme kinetics, tryptic peptide digestion,                membrane vesicle construction, DNA isolation, and radioisotope                  labelling.  The experimental work will illustrate important concepts in         biochemistry, and will help students attain proficiency in widely used          biochemical techniques.
