Course objectives

Students completing the practical course will be able to use expression system for protein production, select suitable purification method and to analyze obtained results.

Learning outcomes

Upon completion of the laboratory course, students are able to: - design a cloning strategy - express protein in a heterologous prokaryotic system - purify protein (protein precipitation, affinity, ion-exchange and size-exclusion chromatography) - analyse protein function and purity.

Syllabus

• 1. Bioinformatics and theory of DNA cloning. 2. Protein expression in bacteria. 3. Cell desintegration. 4. Purification. 5. SDS-PAGE. 6. protein activity measurement.
