General
Biochemical techniques and instrumentation
Biochemical studies rely on the availability of appropriate analytical techniques and their applications. This undergraduate course deals with the different biochemical techniques such as spectrophotometry and chromatography to gain knowledge on the biomolecules such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and their functions. In recent years, huge advances are made in understanding the gene structure and their expression and hence, the discipline of molecular biology overlaps with that of biochemistry in many aspects. Molecular and immunological techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay, blotting, PCR, cell culture, hybridoma and cloning protocols dealt in this course are mainly focused to understand the diagnosis of diseases, malfunctions and disorders in order to generate corrective measures.
