MBV9300BTS – Membrane Proteins; from Isolation to Crystals
Course description
Course content
The course will be highly focused on methodology and decision process involved in membrane protein crystallisation. The student will be grouped into 3-4 group that will rotate between different stations, within the laboratory. First station will involve “Membrane proteins identification and small scale membrane isolation” the second station “Large scale membrane protein purification” and the third station “Membrane Protein lipidation and Crystallization trials”. There will be 3 overview talks from both international and internal speakers.
Learning outcome
You will have "hands-on" experience with membrane protein expression, solubility studies which involves handling of detergents as well as purification of membrane proteins and crystallization.
Admission
PhD candidates from the University of Oslo should apply for classes and register for examinations through Studentweb.
If a course has limited intake capacity, priority will be given to PhD candidates who follow an individual education plan where this particular course is included. Some national researchers’ schools may have specific rules for ranking applicants for courses with limited intake capacity.
PhD candidates who have been admitted to another higher education institution must apply for a position as a visiting student within a given deadline.
Prerequisites
Recommended previous knowledge
Basic knowledge of protein structure and protein structure determination.
Overlapping courses
No overlap with other courses.
Teaching
