Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course presents the different expression and production systems of recombinant proteins, including their purification, in Gram negative (E. coli) or positive (Bacillus and Lactococcus) bacteria as well as the in vitro expression systems.
The attention is focused on the main protein characteristics to consider before choosing an expression system.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the lectures, the student will be able to pay attention to the important characterictics of the target protein and to choose the optimal expression and production system as well as the best suitable host for getting a good production.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Knowledges in molecular biology and genetic engineering are necessary to follow this course.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Teaching with powerpoint slides
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face or online
Recommended or required readings
The evaluation consists in discussing the proposed expression system for a protein indicated by the teacher at the end of the course and is followed by an oral discussion.
