2nd year | Semester 3
Molecular and biogical chemistry 6 ECTS

Practical course in Biochemistry

Tags: analysis, DNA, extraction, Proteins
Evaluation method:
The rating is based on the evaluation of a report and the assessment of the student's skills
Course outline:

The modification of living organisms has become a major strategic challenge for the optimisation of many industrial processes. As part of this experimental training, we wish to introduce different techniques commonly used to modify and analyze the DNA or proteins of a cell. We also aim to illustrate the knowledge covered during the lectures of Biochemistry.

Learning objectives:

At the end of the training, the student will be able to extract and analyze two major groups of biomolecules such as proteins and DNA whose structures and characteristics have been covered in the Biochemistry course. The student should also conduct bibliographic research to determine the limits of the proposed techniques and, if necessary, propose alternative protocols, specifying their advantages and disadvantages.
In addition to the acquisition of new techniques, the student should summarize the experimental results obtained by discussing them and comparing them with bibliographic data.

Prerequisites: Knowledge of the DNA and proteins structures and major cell compartments that were presented during the Biochemistry course
