Protein Purification: Isolating Fluorescent Protein from Bacteria
Protein Purification Lab Introduction
This lab follows either “Bacterial Transformation” or “Bacterial Transformation with Gene Regulation.”
Obtaining purified protein from a genetically modified organism (GMO) is an important step for many pharmaceutical companies and research labs. Whether manufacturing proteins for clinical use, such as insulin, or studying the function of proteins in biochemical assays, protein purification is an essential process.
