Chemical biology, by its nature, tends to be interdisciplinary. The tools at your disposal will range from molecular biology to computational chemistry.
Along the way, you will be exposed to protein expression and purification, organic synthesis (enzymatic and traditional), HPLC, enzyme kinetic and inhibition measurements, and KIE measurements.
The underlying theme is understanding enzyme catalytic mechanisms in atomic detail. You will leave this lab with a wide range of experimental and theoretical experience.
