Learning outcomes
At the end of the module the student acquires methodological and applicative elements useful for integrating the knowledge gained in the courses of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
Course contents
The initial part of the course will be devoted to the discussion of several laboratory techniques:
Techniques for the study of the structure of proteins
XRD, NMR, cryo-EM
Main analytical techniques used in biochemistry
Spectrophotometry
Fluorescence
Purification and separation techniques
Ultracentrifugation
Electrophoresis
Western Blotting
In the end, two different lab activities will be performed:
- computer lab on proteins' strucutre
- biochemical lab on enzymatic kinetics and proteins' quantification.
Readings/Bibliography
PowerPoint presentations supplemented by personal notes can provide useful support for the study of the subject.
Teaching methods
Frontal and online lessons based on Power-Point presentations
Assessment methods
The laboratory course program is not included in the exam of the I.C. of Biochemistry.
Students should write a brief report containing the analytical data on enzymatic kinetics and proteins' quantification.
Teaching tools
All lessons will be supported by Power-Point presentations, made available before the lessons.
