KE0026 Biochemistry Labs & Tutorials

This is the starting page for the KE0026 biochemistry labs and tutorials. The labs include both wet labs and computer labs. In the wet labs you will learn how to use basic biochemistry lab equipment and techniques. In the computer labs you will learn how to use different computer tools to study biochemical problems, e.g. graphics programs to look at and analyse protein structures, and data base tools to extract information from data bases. Later, you will use these tools to study biochemical problems.

Please remember to bring a copy of the lab instructions to the wet labs since in general you will not have access to these pages during these labs.
