Course Description
• Introduction of students majoring in Biochemistry to some of the most widely used experimental procedures in biochemistry.
• During this course students will become familiar with the principles of basic biochemistry through the very carefully selected lab activities that will focus on the fundamental biomolecules of the living system such as:
amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids
4
• This lab will focus mainly on:Qualitative tests of Carbs., Amino acids,
Proteins, and Lipids Using different widely applied methods in
biochemistry labs.
5
• Prerequisite:
• Practical Analytical Chemistry CHEM 2110• Biochemistry I BIOCA2301

Course Objectives
• By the end of this course students will be:• Ready to explain the different roles of the very
important biomolecules in the living system, through understanding the biochemical properties of such compounds.
• More self-confident in conducting experiments with their own hands.
7
• Able to handle the different lab equipments with confidence.
• Familiar with the different methods applied in basic biochemistry labs.
• Students will:• Improve their communication skills• Get used to a team-work.

Evaluation
• There will be different types of evaluation that will include:
• Reading the lab manual before the lab activity day• Answering the pre-lab questions during lab session, • Quizzes (2)• Writing Lab reports• Participation in the actual lab work.• Participation in the discussion with classmates
through the electronic learning tools.
10
Course Policy
• Attendance all lab sessions is a mandatory.• Zero tolerance for not following given instructions during
lab sessions.• Wearing the lab coat as soon as you step in the lab. • Acting responsibly during the entire lab session.• Team work is a must, including communication with group
partners.• Giving up reports from the previous lab session must be
electronically and before the day of the next lab.• Quizzes will be given only electronically on a previously
announced date and time.• No make ups are allowed.
