CBMS332: Protein Discovery and Analysis
This unit concerns the molecular principles underlying recent developments taking place in protein science. As well as addressing modern separation technologies in depth, the unit covers the contemporary practice of structural biology, biophysical analysis and protein informatics. The unit details methods used today in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries to isolate and purify macromolecules, including engineered recombinant proteins. Relevant biomolecular analysis methods are introduced in relation to proteomics. Molecular properties leading to the 3D shape of proteins are detailed and contemporary structure determination methods outlined. Practical aspects of the unit involve hands-on chromatography purification, characterisation of protein structure, three dimensional molecular graphics and use of key protein web based resources.
