BIOCHEMISTRY MOLECULAR BIOLOGY EDUCATION Vol. 102–105, 2003 AND Articles Concepts and Skills in the Biochemistry/Molecular Biology Lab Received for publication, October 23, 2002, and in revised form, November 16, 2002 Rodney Boyer‡ From Bozeman, Montana 59715 Most colleges and universities throughout the world now offer a Biochemistry/Molecular Biology (BMB) lab course that is designed for undergraduate students in the molecular life sciences, chemistry, and related fields. To best serve our students, we must introduce them to the most current concepts, skills, and methods available. Suggestions for teaching a modern BMB lab are given here. Keywords: Laboratory skills, biochemistry lab, molecular biology lab, education.

The Biochemistry/Molecular Biology (BMB)1 teaching laboratory has become a prominent and essential fixture in the training of undergraduate students for careers related to the molecular life sciences (biochemistry, molecular biology, chemistry, genetics, immunology, microbiology, neurochemistry, etc.). These students must acquire extensive experience working with biomolecules in the laboratory, and a formal lab course is usually the best first step to that experience. This step provides students the skills needed for future research participation at the undergraduate and graduate level and for jobs in the biotechnological and pharmaceutical industries. In addition, a lab experience is also an asset for those science majors preparing for careers in law and business that may be related but outside the realm of the basic sciences (patent law, pharmaceutical sales, etc.). With the acknowledged importance of a lab experience for all students, it is surprising that there is such a sparsity of literature references with discussion on the elements that make up an effective BMB laboratory experience.
