| １． |
Outline |
|
In this experimental course, you will experience a series of experiments using tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), a plant virus.
(1) Separate and purify the virus particles from the sample containing the virus.
(2) Extract and purify the viral genome from purified virus particles.
(3) Verify the biological activity of purified viral particles and viral genome.

| ２． |
Objectives |
|
After completing this practice, you can make sure the knowledge gained in the biochemistry lecture through experimentation, and you can master the strategies of scientific research.
|
| ３． |
Grading Policy |
|
Since this course is an experimental subject, attendance is one of the necessary condition. After completing the experiment, submit your report and, if accepted, this course will be completed. The final grade is evaluated based on that report.

| ５． |
Requirements (Assignments) |
|
Prior to the start of the experiment, we will also distribute preliminary report assignments along with experiment manuals. Please carefully read the manual, prepare, and do preliminary report tasks, and then go through experiments.
After starting the experiment, we will ask you to submit a brief report on implementation report every week. I will return it after correction and use it as a reference for the final report.
