Course Description
| In
an intimate, small group laboratory setting, learn the details
of protein purification from an expert. Join Professor William
Ward as he leads you through the step-by-step purification of
a model protein, hands-on from start to finish. Under his constant
supervision, you will prepare a crude extract, administer several
batch purification steps, and then achieve purity in a series
of high resolution chromatography steps. You will then judge purity
of the final product in comparison with your crude extract by
calculating specific activity and by analyzing your product by
size exclusion HPLC and/or SDS gel electrophoresis.
As you assist in setting up equipment, carrying out experiments,
and analyzing results, you will have many opportunities to benefit
from Professor Ward’s extensive experience as a long-time,
practicing protein biochemist.
So that your specific questions can be properly
addressed in one-on-one dialogue, registration will be limited
to just 8 participants.
Course sessions run three days,
Friday thru Sunday with lunch provided on Saturday and Sunday
as follows:
Day 1
- 3 pm to 7 pm
Day 2 - 9 am to 5 pm
Day 3 - 10 am to 3 pm

and Director of C.R.E.B.B.
Dr. Ward is
a noted teacher and seminar leader with more than 15 years
of experience with adult professional audiences. He specializes
in the chemical and physical properties of the green-fluorescent
protein and other proteins involved in marine bioluminescence.
Dr. Ward also teaches "Fluorescence: Basic Principles and
Applications in Drug Discovery" for IBC Life Sciences Training
Academy.
Dr. Ward has
co-authored (with Catherine Thomson, Ph.D.) "A Guide to Green-Fluorescent
Protein: Applications in Cell Biology and Drug Discovery"
for D&MD Publications. This resource-oriented practical guide
presents an overview of the most important features and technological
applications of Green-Fluorescent Protein (GFP) and its variant
forms, and illustrates how GFP is currently being used in
the biopharmaceutical industry.
