Course description |
As structure determination of proteins relies heavily on the supply of suitable protein material, the preparative and analytical methods leading up to the X-ray diffraction or the NMR experiments are of eminent importance. Common methods of cloning, expression and analysis of proteins will be discussed. As a course outcome, the students should be familiar with all common methods and be able to start practical work with recombinant proteins. |
