Course Objective

It is obligatory that proteins which are one of the macromolecules playing important roles in the life of alives are purified for the applications in many fields such as medical, nutrient and pharmacology. Methods, techniques and strategies utilised for the purification of proteins will be discussed within the context of this course.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Have a knowledge about protein purification methods,
2   Have knowledge about structure of proteins and amino acids so determine which method is proper for purification of proteins,
3   Interpret the possible problems during the purification process,
4   Explain the application fields of protein purification,
5   Examine high throughput screening techniques in protein purification.
