Course Objective

The aim of this lecture is to introduce advanced techniques used in izolation and purification of biomolecules.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to understand the advanced techniques used in izolation and purification of biomolecules.
2   To be able to realize the choice of afine ligand, biospecific affinity chromatography, cell affinity chromatography, dye-Ligand chromatography, metal chelae affinity chromatography and hydrophobic interaction chromatography and explain difference between techniques.
3   To be able to explain the chemical modification of supports and immobilization of afine ligands: polysaccharides, polyacrylamides, porous glass, general reactions for coupling ligands, spacers.
4   To be able to chose the affine ligand and determine the conditions of adsorption and elution step.
5   To be able to develop the analytical abilities and ability to present and criticise arguments.

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

The course is taught in a lecture, class presentation and discussion format. All class members are expected to attend and both the lecture and seminar hours and take part in the discussion sessions. Besides the taught lecture, group presentations are to be prepared by the groups assigned for that week and presented to open a discussion session.
