• Major mechanism of communication– Notify you of changes in schedule and project– Send updates on experiment results– Answer your questions
• Keep your mail box clean– Lecture notes on web as too large to send– Some Mails may still push you over quota

Schedule
• Lab opens at 1:15– Turn in Pre lab questions & lab reports– Collect any handouts
• 1.30 lecture
• 2:00 lab exercise
• Finish usually around 5:00
![Page 8: Pick up a copy of the course description on bench by the clock](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bf9e1a28abf838c941a1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
NO MAKE UP LABS• Late assignments without a valid excuse will not be accepted and
will receive a score of zero.• Incomplete as a course grade will be awarded only for work not
completed during the course due to conditions deemed by the instructor to be beyond the reasonable control of the student.
• Attendance to all laboratories is mandatory and unexcused absences will affect the outcome of the course.
![Page 9: Pick up a copy of the course description on bench by the clock](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bf9e1a28abf838c941a1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Bch 452
• Will introduce fundamental techniques in biochemical analysis
• Will teach the principles upon which the technology depends
• Will make you familiar with theory and practice of the technology
![Page 10: Pick up a copy of the course description on bench by the clock](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bf9e1a28abf838c941a1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
More Importantly BCH 452
• Will stress proper laboratory technique– Reproducibility– Eliminate errors
• Will stress proper record keeping and data reporting– Necessary for archival considerations– For intellectual property– For trouble shooting
![Page 11: Pick up a copy of the course description on bench by the clock](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bf9e1a28abf838c941a1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Concept of 452• Teach techniques in common use in
biochemistry laboratory science• Try to present situations that exist in a real
laboratory situation– Move from “exercises” with predictable
outcomes.– To “experiments” with doubtful outcomes
• Important to understand and explain anomalous results
![Page 12: Pick up a copy of the course description on bench by the clock](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bf9e1a28abf838c941a1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
My Job
• To be certain that you understand the principles that the experiments will examine
• To be certain that you understand how the apparatus employed in the experiment functions
• To be certain that you understand the reason for each step in the experimental protocol
![Page 13: Pick up a copy of the course description on bench by the clock](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bf9e1a28abf838c941a1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Lab Safety (Page XXIII)• Students are expected to observe proper laboratory procedures as described
in the lab manual (Page XXVII)• a. This is a serious aspect of lab science. Go through the list in the manual.• b. Read each laboratory experiment before you come to class.• c. Follow precautionary statements given in each experiment.• d. Only necessary work materials should be at or on the laboratory bench.
Do no place coats, backpacks, or other personal belongings on your lab bench; store them in the lab cabinets or on the coat rack. Do not place them on the floor.
• e. Do not eat, drink, smoke or place materials in your mouth while in the laboratory.
• f. Wear appropriate clothing and eye protection while in the laboratory and experiments are in progress NO OPEN TOE SHOES
• g. Report all accidents to the instructor or TA immediately: such as spills, cuts, burns, or contact between reagents and your body or eyes. Take appropriate steps in an emergency situation (such as the use of the eye wash station or emergency shower).

Laboratory Notebook (ideal) See Page 3
• No loose pages
• Generates copies
• All entries dated
• Each page dated
• Pages signed by a witness attesting to date (extreme) Why??
• Retention time (7 years) Why ??

Lab Reports (Page 4)
• Should contain• Statement of purpose
– Why you are doing experiment– What you wish to determine
• Brief account of theory and design of experiment– Summary or flow chart
• The raw data• All calculations• Results• Conclusions and interpretation
![Page 23: Pick up a copy of the course description on bench by the clock](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bf9e1a28abf838c941a1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
A form for lab write up in lab manual
• Title all sections– Abstract, Discussion, Graph Titles etc.
• Abstract should contain a concise summary of experiment– “I investigated the effect of temperature on activity of
the enzyme Stickase by monitoring its ability to convert stick to broken stick. This was done by determining the accumulation of broken stick by spectrophotometry (A260) at temperatures between 10 to 60 degrees C. I found that Stickase converted stick to broken stick most efficiently at a temperature of 37oC”

Lab Report
• Record all your experimental data including changes in protocol
• Label co ordinates. Be careful with units, spelling and grammar
• Explain sources of error– It is not as important that you get a “correct”
outcome as it is that you can explain your result.
![Page 25: Pick up a copy of the course description on bench by the clock](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bf9e1a28abf838c941a1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Remember
• Your lab report is your PERSONAL representation of experimental results
• Because you work in groups the raw data produced will be identical however your report should be distinct.

Experiment
• A solution of compound X is reacted with reagent Y which causes the production of a light absorbing product. The amount of light absorbing product indicates how much compound X is present. The sample containing X is divided into three aliquots and the experiment is repeated three times at three wavelengths.

What is an “Experiment”An example from our research
program

Experiment
• Theory
• Hypothesis to test theory
• Experiment suggested by hypothesis
• Design of experiment
• Result of experiment
• Conclusions and expansion of experament
• Translation to practical application
![Page 39: Pick up a copy of the course description on bench by the clock](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bf9e1a28abf838c941a1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Fact &Theory
• Arthropod borne viruses (ArBoViruses)– A class of medically important viruses that are
carried in nature by mosquitos• Dengue virus infects 500million people/year.
3billion at risk (40% worlds population).• No treatment or cure
• Theory: Arboviruses are insect viruses which have evolved over millions of years to infect vertebrates
![Page 40: Pick up a copy of the course description on bench by the clock](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bf9e1a28abf838c941a1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Hypothesis
• As they evolved to infect vertebrates, Arboviruses acquired new genetic information necessary for growth in this completely different genetic and biochemical environment
• It should be possible to identify those genetic elements and remove them– Produce virus which can grow in insects but
not vertebrates
![Page 41: Pick up a copy of the course description on bench by the clock](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bf9e1a28abf838c941a1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Conclusions
• Shortening transmembrane domain crates a host range (HR) mutation– Restricts efficient growth to insect cells
• Suggests approach for making vaccines for arboviruses– Use HR mutants as vaccines
