Contents of teaching:

  • Recombinant protein synthesis often requires affinity chromatography. This step involves immobilization of a ligand that specifically binds to the protein to be purified. As an example a ligand for human blood group B galactosyltransferase will be synthesized and immobilized.

Qualification-goals/Competencies:

  • Simple organic synthesis
  • Independent planning of a simple synthesis
  • Purification and characterization of synthesis products employing MS and NMR
  • Acquisition of skills to work independently and self-determined in the laboratory

Grading through:

  • presentation
