Protocols and Methods
Protocols are standard, tested methods for carrying out scietific deks, especially in biochemistry, chemical biology, molecular biology and analytical chemistry. Collections of protocols can be a quick and easy way to find descriptions of methods, including reagents used, reaction conditions, and typical results. Here are some sources for protocols in biochemistry and molecualr biology:
-
Current Protocols This link opens in a new window
Collection of standard research methods in the biosciences. They include: step-by-step protocols with annotations that alert you to special considerations, tips, and optional procedures; alternate and support protocols to accommodate different equipment and desired results; materials lists for each protocol; detailed recipes for reagents, solutions, and culture media; expert commentaries with troubleshooting instructions, and planning considerations; tables and figures to clarify complex procedures; and appendices filled with useful reference material.

Springer Nature ExperimentsLife Sciences Protocols and Methods Discovery Platform
Maximize your research progress with the leading portfolio of top quality and trustworthy protocols, methods, reviews, and more. Includes some 70,000 protocols.
Video Experiments
Today, there are many sources for videos of laboratory experiments. These can be very useful to aid learning laboratory procedures. Some can be found bysearching general Web video sources such as YouTube and Vimeo. However, the quality of these videos can vary widely. UCSB subscribes to a source of well-proven videos in a wide range of topics, including basic laboratory procedures, videos for teaching biochemical methods, and videos aimed at the practicing biochemist.
