Description:
COURSE CONTENT:
PCR amplification of the DNA fragments coding the gene for the protein of interest. Plasmid DNA isolation and restriction digestion. Ligation of the amplified fragment into the prepared plasmid vector. Selection of the recombinant plasmid. Transformation of the bacterial strain with the recombinant plasmid. Induction of the overexpression of the protein coded by the amplified DNA fragment. Analysis of the protein overexpression by SDS gel-electrophoresis. Isolation of the total cellular proteins from the induced bacteria. Purification of the overexpressed protein by affinity chromatography on the Ni-NTA agarose column. Analysis of the chromatographic fractions on the SDS polyacrylamide gel. Western analysis. Exchange of the buffers using dialysis and gel-filtration chromatography. Concentration of the purified protein. Spectrophotometric determination of the protein concentration.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1. to independently perform complex and modern biochemical and molecular-biological experiments that include techniques of recombinant DNA and methods of protein manipulation
2. to independently use modern equipment in biochemical laboratory
3. to design procedure for gene cloning into plasmid vector in order to obtain recombinant fusion protein
4. to perform gene cloning experiments including the use of appropriate experimental controls
5. to transform bacterial cells with recombinant plasmid
6. to overexpress recombinant fusion protein in bacterial host
7. to purify overexpressed protein using affinity chromatography
8. to determine purity and concentration of purified protein
9. to critically evaluate performed experiments and to recommend/suggest improvements and/or optimization of experimental conditions and procedures
10. to write a detailed report in the form of scientific paper
