Lecturer: Jacquin Niles
Instructors: Noreen Lyell, Leslie McClain, and Becky Meyer
TAs:
Overview
The primary experiment in this module is a small-molecule microarray (SMM), which ... To complete the SMM screen, the protein of interest must be cloned into an expression vector and then purified.
Research goal: Identify small molecules that putatively bind to the protein of interest.
Lab links: day by day
M2D1: Complete in silico cloning of protein expression plasmid
M2D2: Perform protein purification protocol
M2D3: Assess purity and concentration of purified protein
M2D4: Prepare small molecule microarray (SMM) slides with purified protein
M2D5: Scan SMM slides to identify putative small molecule binders
M2D6: Analyze SMM data to confirm putative small molecule binders
M2D7: Examine putative small molecule binders for common features
Major assignments
Journal club presentation
