Objectives
A student passing the course
- understands the various types of heterogeneity in proteins arising from both biological and non-biological factors.
- can estimate the level of purity and quantity of a protein necessary for a defined application.
- comprehends the fundamental principles underlying protein purification processes.
- knows the most essential techniques employed for protein purification, including their operational principles.
- comprehends the fundamental concepts and considerations related to the processes of concentrating, handling and storing of proteins.
- can formulate a tailored purification process for a specific protein.
- knows the functional principles of the most essential methods used for the characterization of proteins for their biochemical and –physical properties, such as their size, purity, interaction kinetics, isoelectric point, primary structure, stability, aggregation tendency.
- understands the roles and functionalities of essential expression systems utilized in recombinant protein production.
- grasps the composition and design principles of expression vectors used in recombinant protein production.
Working life skills:
- presentation skills
