91121 Final: Analytical Biochemistry Final Exam Study Guide
Document Summary
In analytical biochemistry we are going to learn about the laboratory methods and strategies in which we determine the structure of unknown substances in biological samples and how much. Essentially we are getting to the heart of how biochemists determined that glucose was the main carbohydrate for many organisms along with how they defined its structure, quantity and the different forms it can possess eg: glycogen. Work hard, be inspired and most of all enjoy! In analytical biochemistry we are testing biological samples called. Assays and testing for what is within the sample and how much. The what: biological samples are not composed of just one substance but many! So we need to know what we are searching for within the sample before running the sample. Using a vast range of analytical techniques (which we will be cover later) we are able to determine or run a: qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis, structural analysis.
