Track 2: Protein Biochemistry

biochemistry and enzymology encompass many areas of biology including molecular biology, cell biology, pharmaceutical research and development, food science, plant biology, etc. Applications include protein purification for research, manufacturing for biopharmaceutical development, molecular cloning, agriculture, and X-ray crystallography, among others. Tools and supplies for protein biochemistry include instruments such as mass spectrometers and chromatography systems, cloning, purification and enrichment kits, western blot systems and consumables. The tools needed for many protein biochemistry applications can be made "from scratch" or kits and other useful thing products can be used. Economy and time available are important considerations in choosing the right type of products. Proteins also vary greatly in size and profusion. The tools used to manipulate a large, very abundant protein will be different from those needed for very small, rare proteins.
