ENCH 485L - Biochemical Engineering Laboratory. (4)

Conduct experiments to study microbial growth and product formation kinetics. Study enzyme kinetics. Conduct protein isolation, purification and concentration experiments. Analyze experimental data and prepare written reports and oral presentations. Observe laboratory safety precautions. This course is designed to teach modern chemical and biochemical laboratory practice. Students will learn aspects of heat and mass transfer of relevance to the bioprocess industry. In addition, they will learn aspects of microbial growth and product formation kinetics. Simple cloning techniques and enzyme/antibody assays will be introduced. Students will isolate and purify proteins. (Spring)
