Course objectives
The aim of the laboratory course is to practically learn the advanced biochemistry methods. The students will perform isolation and separation of biomolecules (nucleic acids, proteins, low molecular compounds), methods for enzyme activity determination, methods for determination of mRNA and protein levels (qPCR, proteomics based on quantitative mass spectrometry), will work with tissue cultures and with modern diagnostics methods, will process proteomics data using virtual machines, will process, statistically evaluate and interpret the obtained data.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to: - Perform native electrophoresis and determine enzyme activity - Isolate proteins from cancer cell lines and determine total protein concentration - Digest proteins using trypsin and purify resulting peptides within a proteomics experiment - Perform database search of proteomics LC-MS/MS data in virtual machine environment, will process, statistically evaluate and interpret the results - Perform molecular cloning - Isolate RNA from biological material - Perform reverse transcription - Perform qPCR and evaluate data - Perform PCR-RFLP analysis - Conduct critical evaluation of obtained data
