BIOL 50000 Introductory Module: Protein Expression

Offering:
Spring, Credit 2.0

Prerequisites:

BIOL 23200 or 27100 and 24200 or 28100. Course Restriction:  Must be enrolled in the College of Science.

Description:

Biology 50000 modules are project-oriented courses designed to give the student exposure to laboratory research through a series of five-week modules. During this five-week introductory module, the students will learn the basics of expression, characterization and purification of recombinant proteins in E. coli using SDS-PAGE, Western blot and affinity purification. In the first half of the course, students work initially with a known recombinant DNA construct to learn the essential lab skills. In the second half of the course, students will finish a final project with an unknown construct to identify and purify the protein expressed.
