BT240 — Production of BioPharmaceutical Products
BT 240 - Production of BioPharmaceutical Products BT 240 - Production of BioPharmaceutical Products Understanding protein function is essential to biological research and operations. Protein complexity and large numbers of proteins in the cell make it difficult to identify proteins of interest or protein purification. This course will discuss protein structure and functions as well as introduce the student to protein purification methods or protein-protein interaction. These methods include gel electrophoresis, column chromatography, and methods of preparation of cellular and subcellular extracts, essential to protein purification. Also discussed in the course are methods for characterizing protein-protein interactions, essential methods for quantifying protein concentration, stabilizing and storing proteins, concentrating proteins, and immunoblotting. The course culminates with cell culture basics, purpose, cell lines, and culture maintenance. Course
