SUMMARY:Protein Purification and Biophysical Characterisation 2026 - University of Bedfordshire\, Luton\, UK
DESCRIPTION:Protein Purification and Biophysical Characterisation 2026 – University of Bedfordshire\, Luton\, UK\nProtein purification and biophysical characterisation of the resulting protein are two major disciplines in modern biochemistry; both widely used in basic academic research and in industry. \nThe equipment used to purify proteins continues to evolve in both functionality and utility. \nThis training course\, hosted at the University of Bedfordshire’s STEM Building\, aims to expose participants to the latest hardware required for protein purification and biophysical measurements. \nAttendees will gain hands-on experience of cell lysis using: \n\nthe CF1 cell disrupter from Constant Systems\nprotein purification using AKTA systems and Unicorn software. \nthe analysis of protein – ligand interactions using the Nano Temper Monolith \nand the new multi wavelength Beckman Coulter Life Sciences Optima analytical ultracentrifuge (AUC). \n\nShort lectures will provide background theory on the techniques used. \nSpeaker list \nTBC \nSchedule: \nTBC \nAttendees: \nJay Champaneri \nRiaan Fox \n  \n
