Course objectives
The objective of the practice is to get to students the basic knowledges from separation methods in biochemistry or molecular biology, which are used for protein purification. Contents of the first part includes the basic manipulation with biological samples - extraction, precipitation, ultrafiltration and lyophilisation. Second part is orientied onto chromatography methods. Last part is dedicated in electromigration methods.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course the students should practically apply the methods of disintegration of animal, vegetal and microbial tissues, methods of isolation, purification of proteins, nucleic acids and other biopolymers, methods for determination their purity and molecular properties.
