Easy lab that covers key techniques.

Biochem in a nutshell. I consider it a companion lab to BIOL 335L. Another 6 hour lab. Run gels, crystallize protein, perform enzyme kinetics, PCR, etc.

BIOL 335L VS CHEM 335L 1 point, 6 comments
u/RonaSeason123: “I'm looking to do one or the other but don't know which lab is more useful for jobs in the pharmaceutical industry. Any insight would be helpful! FYI, I am a medicinal chemistry student.”
u/b266curve: “Not sure if you are looking into taking one of them this fall, but BIOL 335L is not offered for the Fall 2020 term (it was cancelled). It is offered in the winter though! I can't find any information about CHEM 335L, however.”
u/boyidgaf: “Take both if you can, but Chem 335L might be a bit more relevant.”
u/RonaSeason123: “I have to fit Chem 357 into my schedule to take Chem 335L. If I can only take Biol 335L would that still be good tho? If not then I can squeeze Chem 335L.”
u/RonaSeason123: “Thank you! Just a quick question, if you have taken it, how does chem 233L compare to chem 335L. Like if I take chem 233L and Biol 355L is chem 335L gonna teach a lot more than what I would have already learned.”

“I know this might be a kinda stupid question but regarding the various chemistry programs at waterloo can't someone who majored in biochem get the same jobs as someone in medicinal chem and someone …”
u/TrimethylsilylEther: “… job if you haven't done the relevant courses that biochemists are required to take (CHEM 357, 335L and BIOL 309).”

“2A Biochemistry major. I'm doing pretty good in all my classes but I just find the chemistry courses really, really boring. …”
u/asylum19: “… and having the strong chem lab background really opens up options for co-op (Chem 224L, Chem 335L - I found particularly useful). Although to get though second year there are other courses I don't think were particularly useful for me. …”
