Introduction to Primer Design and PCR

Share

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique used to make millions of copies of a specific small amount of DNA in a laboratory. The technique was introduced in 1983 by an American biochemist named Karry Mullis, and for this valuable work he received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1993.

In this course, you will learn the basics of primer design, both manually and using the appropriate software. This course is presented in such a way that even if you do not have sufficient knowledge about it, after participating in this course and a little practice, you will be able to design your primers with sufficient mastery, use PCR for various purposes, and have the ability to debug PCR.

Recombinant protein expression: From beginner

Share

Microbial systems have revolutionized biochemistry due to their ability to produce recombinant proteins. We are fast approaching the end of the days when a given protein could be purified with kilograms of plant or animal tissue or large amounts of biological fluid. In any new research project requiring purified proteins, researchers immediately consider recombinant forms of those proteins. It allows the biochemical characterization, use in industrial processes, and development of commercial products when a recombinant protein can be expressed and purified in large quantities.

In order to express recombinant proteins in bacteria, DNA fragments (open reading frames, ORFs) need to be inserted into an expression vector, routinely a plasmid, and this vector needs to be transferred into bacterial cells (transformation). The cells are then cultured and induced to produce recombinant proteins.

This online course will teach you how to use the microbial expression system (Bacteria: pET) for your recombinant protein expression. Learn about the bacterial manipulation to improve protein production.

Vaccine design

Share

In silico vaccine design, information and tools play a special but complementary role. In silico vaccine design may be a subset of emerging immunoinformatics. Immunoinformatics may be a link between immunology and bioinformatics. this system may be very effective in vaccine design, predicting system activity, testing for allergens, and drug design. The database is quite crucial in this strategy. Various bioinformatics software that can check information for vaccine design are known as in silico tools. Naturally, when the Corona virus appeared, you grasped the necessity of drug and vaccine design. Scientists in this discipline are hosting exhibits and scientific gatherings in most nations these days in order to develop effective chemical compounds to treat various infections.
