BI 511 - Molecular Biology of Proteins w/Lab

Prerequisites: BI 311 and BI 461 Because the techniques for working wih proteins are basic to the cell and molecular biologist and extend beyond the understanding of basic protein biochemistry, this course provides a theoretical understanding of methods commonly utilized for protein/peptide analysis. In the laboratory students will isolate proteins from various tissues or expression systems and analyze them by one- and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Laboratory fee. 4 credits
