SK.Bio.7005: Methods for the identification of protein-protein interactions (3 C, 2 SWS)

Learning outcome, core skills: The students obtain basic knowledge of the identification of protein-protein interactions. In small groups and in different departments of the Institute of Microbiology and Genetics, they learn the application of selected methods that they present to their fellow students in a concluding seminar at the end of the course. Through the successful participation in the course the students get an overview on different methods for the identification of protein-protein interactions and improve their English communication skills in the lab and in seminars..

Courses and examinations
Practical course in the participating groups of the Institute of Microbiology and Genetics (2 WLH)

Examination: oral presentation (ca. 15 minutes)
Examination prerequisites: regular participation in the practical course
Examination requirements: The students should present and discuss the applied method for the identification of protein-protein interactions (e.g. immunoprecipitation, affinity chromatography, bimolecular fluorescence complementation, immunoelectron microscopy) in English.
