BTEC 3020 - Protein Cloning, Expression, and Purification

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Description:

This course provides hands-on experience with techniques and concepts used for recombinant protein production and purification. This will be accomplished through a lecture and laboratory experience that will involve directed reading, design and performance of experiments, data analysis, and completion of laboratory reports. The course is appropriate for all pre-health and pre-vet professionals, and those preparing for life science-oriented graduate programs and industrial careers. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs)** At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Summarize the principal processes involved in protein synthesis and the relationship between protein structure and function; 2. Describe and implement alternative approaches used for recombinant protein expression in different expression systems; 3. Demonstrate common techniques used for protein purification and preparation strategies: including ion exchange, affinity, and size exclusion chromatography methods. Prerequisites: BTEC 2020 (Grade C- or higher). FA
