This course will cover experiments on the study and characterization of proteins, with a particular focus on membrane proteins. The lab experience includes experiments for protein solubility, electrophoresis, as well as detection of proteins by glycoprotein staining and western blotting. Other protein detection methods examined in this course will include enzyme-linked immunoassays (ELISA). Students will also give presentations on emerging methodologies.
