5TH PRACTICAL SUMMER TRAINING ON
CHROMATOGRAPHY, MOLECULAR BIOLOGY & BIOINFORMATICS (PCMB)
June 04 - 15, 2012
Organized by
School of Bio Sciences and Technology (SBST)
VIT University, Vellore – 632 014, Tamil Nadu
Scope of training
This course aims to provide exposure to Chromatography, Bioinformatics and Molecular Biology techniques. Experts from academic and industry will be involved as resource persons. The participants will be interacting with experts and will get acquainted with practical aspects of various techniques along with the underlying principles. Experiments will be conducted in small groups under the expert supervision where individual participants will follow experimental protocol designed in different areas. Practical demonstrations and lectures related to different experiments are part of the workshop.
Techniques
Cloning of DNA in bacterial expression vectors: PCR amplification of gene → Gel
purification of DNA → Restriction digestion → Ligation → Bacteria
Transformation
Expression and purification of proteins expressed in bacteria : IPTG induction of
gene expression in BL 21 bacteria → Purification of GST tag protein from bacteria
→ Analysis of purified protein by SDS PAGE
