Recommended curriculum for a program in biochemistry and molecular biology Recommended curriculum for a program in biochemistry and molecular biologyVoet, Judith G.; Bell, Ellis; Boyer, Rodney; Boyle, John; O'Leary, Marion; Zimmerman, James K.2003-05-01 00:00:00The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) last developed a new curriculum for an undergraduate program in biochemistry and molecular biology in 1992. The intervening years have seen enormous change in both the subject matter and in our understanding of good teaching practices. The Education and Professional Development Committee of ASBMB has been working for the last 3 years to develop a new curriculum that takes account of these changes. This recommendation represents a work in progress; the Committee intends to revisit this issue at regular intervals. It is no longer adequate to describe a curriculum only in terms of the courses it contains. Instead it is important that the description focus on the concepts, content, and topics of the program as well as the student outcomes that should be expected from the program.

The recommended curriculum (Table I) is a compromise between the traditional, course‐centered approach to curriculum and the more modern content and outcome‐centered approach. It is the intent of the Committee that curriculum designers should have flexibility about how the content is organized. The course organization given below is only one of many ways that the material might be organized.

.Biochemistry Laboratory: Modern Theory and Techniques, 2nd Edition. DescriptionThe biochemistry laboratory course is an essential component in training students for careers in biochemistry, molecular biology, chemistry, and related molecular life sciences such as cell biology, neurosciences, and genetics. Increasingly, many biochemistry lab instructors opt to either design their own experiments or select them from major educational journals. Biochemistry Laboratory: Modern Theory and Techniquesaddresses this issue by providing a flexible alternative without experimental protocols. Instead of requiring instructors to use specific experiments, the book focuses on detailed descriptions of modern techniques in experimental biochemistry and discusses the theory behind such techniques in detail. An extensive range of techniques discussed includes Internet databases, chromatography, spectroscopy, and recombinant DNA techniques such as molecular cloning and PCR.

The Second Editionintroduces cutting-edge topics such as membrane-based chromatography, adds new exercises and problems throughout, and offers a completely updated Companion Website. An extensive range of techniquesare provided, including internet databases, chromatography, electrophoresis, spectroscopy, measurements of ligand-binding interactions, and recombinant DNA techniques such as molecular cloning and PCR.

A flexible organizationaccommodates various requirements of the course, and allows students to reference detailed theory sections for clarification during labs. Timely, cutting-edge topicsintroduced include membrane-based chromatography (Chapter 5), less toxic electrophoresis dyes (Chapter 6), nanodrop spectrophotometric analysis (Chapter 7), and using gene synthesis in protein expression (Chapter 11).

NEW! New contenton how to conduct research in biochemistry and related molecular life sciences is provided (Chapter 2). NEW! About the Author(s)Rod Boyerserved on the faculty at Hope College, Holland, MI, where he taught, researched, and wrote biochemistry for 26 years. He earned his B.A. In chemistry and mathematics at Westmar College (Iowa) and his Ph.D.

In physical organic chemistry at Colorado State University. After three years as an NIH Postdoctoral Fellow with M. Coon (cytochromes P-450) in the Department of Biological Chemistry at the University of Michigan Medical School, he joined the chemistry faculty at Hope. There he directed the work of over 75 undergraduate students in research supported by the NIH, NSF, Dreyfus Foundation, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and the Petroleum Research Fund (ACS).

With his students, he published numerous journal articles in the areas of ferritin iron storage and biochemical education. He spent a sabbatical year as an American Cancer Society Scholar in the lab of Nobel laureate, Tom Cech at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Rod is also the author of Modern Experimental Biochemistry(Third Edition, 2000, Benjamin-Cummings) and Concepts in Biochemistry(Third Edition, 2006, John Wiley & Sons) and serves as an Associate Editor for the journal Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education(BAMBED). He is a member of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) and a former member of its Education and Professional Development Committee that recently designed the undergraduate biochemistry degree recommended by the ASBMB.

Rod now resides in Bozeman, Montana, where he continues to write and consult in biochemical education.
