SPECIAL NOTE: Record enough procedure details in your notebook during each day of lab so that you can repeat these procedures using your notebook as the PRIMARY resource (i.e., you should not use printed web pages or handouts from previous labs).

Each major item will be scored from 0 to 5 at least 2 times during the course.
ALL graphs must be hand-drawn in your notebook to get credit; protein purification table must also be written on a notebook page.
