  • Overview

    COURSE OBJECTIVE
    Final attainment:

     

    The student knows: Principles and applications of protein over-expression, purification, structure, function, and inhibition as well as the function of antibiotics as protein inhibitors.

    The student can: Apply protein bio-chemistry methods (protein over-expression, affinity chromatography, spectro-photometry, fluorescence, protein labeling methods, gel electrophoresis, activity tests).

    COURSE CONTENT
    The course consists of a mixture of lectures, practicals, computer sessions and individual study.
