GENETIC ENGINEERING & TRANSFORMATION

Cat. #255 Purification & Size Determination of Green & Blue Fluorescent Proteins

Packing & running column 45 min. Optional electrophoresis 60 min. Staining (optional) 30 min. Destaining (optional) 2 hours/overnight

For 6 Groups. When bacteria are used to make medicinally useful proteins by transformation, the protein of interest must be separated from all of the other cellular proteins. In this experiment, the unique fluorescent properties of GFP and BFP will be used during their purification from an E.coli extract. The column fractions containing GFP or BFP will be identified by fluorescence and then purified. As an optional activity, purified protein fractions can be separated by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) to estimate the purity and size of the GFP and BFP proteins.

Cat. #304 The Future of Biofuels: Alcohol Fermentation

Complete over multiple lab periods.

For 5 Groups. Ethanol fermentation is the most common method for biofuel production worldwide. In this experiment, students will use small- scale flask fermenters to quantify ethanol production and sugar utilization by Saccharomyces cerevisiae . By controlling variables such as temperature and aeration, the students can compare the efficiency of the fermenta - tions over a three day experiment.
