Basic safety, handling of micropipettes and safe disposal of laboratory wastes. To know more about how to handle micropipettes, watch this video or practice using this simulation.
In the interest of time, extracted protein will be provided. To know more about protein isolation, watch this video.
After the cell lysis, the amount of total protein is quantified by spectrophotometry which detects the concentration of the final reaction product. To know more about spectrophotometry, you can read this article or watch this video for how a spectrophotometer works.
The overexpressed protein is checked by SDS-PAGE to examine the protein expression profile of the samples and separate the proteins in a way similar to agarose gel separation of DNA. To know more about SDS-PAGE, please read this article or watch this video.
Proteins are transferred from the polyacrylamide gel to a membrane and probed with an antibody specific to the protein of interest. To know more , read this article or watch this video.
The enzyme assay is used to determine the amount of protein activity associated with each sample. The assays are performed in triplicates to gain confidence in the values measured. Enzyme kinetics, read this article or watch this video.
