Preliminary meeting and handout of Seminar: Tuesday, November 13th, 2018 at 4 pm in 13-443
Please note: It is recommended that students who wish to take part in our VP - Cell Biology in the summer semester take part in this practical course first.
Program
We will introduce students to basic techniques of yeast genetics, protein biochemistry and cell biology.we simulate a small scientific project and work in small teams of 3-4 students to solve a simple biological question. The students will present their results on posters to the rest of the group. There will be seminars every morning to discuss the results and to design the experiments for the day, and a literature seminar in which the students report about published articles related to the topic of the course.
Program
We will work in small teams on one common small scientific project using methods
of genetics, biochemistry, cell biology and bioinformatics. Students are directly
involved in designing the experiments that they will perform. The results of
all teams will be discussed in the group and used to write a short scientific
manuscript.
Among the methods used in the course are:
Isolation of cellular organelles. In vitro transcription. Protein synthesis in
reticulocyte lyste. Radioactive labeling of proteins. Translation in isolated
mitochondria. Protein import into mitochondria. Kinetic measurements of enzyme
activities. SDS Page. Western blotting.
