The Biochemistry course’s lab module includes four lab sessions (with a requirement to attend at least 75% of the sessions), each lasting 2 hours. The topics covered in the experiments are:
1. Quantification of proteins using the Bradford method.
2. Separation of proteins using SDS-PAGE and determination of their molecular weight based on migration distance.
3. Characterization of the enzymatic activity of lactate dehydrogenase.

Type of delivery of the course
The practice module of the Biochemistry course includes three laboratory experiences, each lasting 2 hours. The experimental data obtained during the practical experiences must be analyzed by the students using appropriate software (Excel). The results obtained will be discussed together with the teacher during a classroom lectures.Attendance
Attendance is not required for in-class lectures. Attendance is required for at least 75% of the lab sessions.Type of evaluation
The exam will be held orally. Only students who have attended at least 75% of the lab sessions will be eligible to take the exam. teacher profile teaching materials
