Bacterial Transformation Using Fluorescent Proteins
Fluorescent proteins are used often in laboratory research, but what makes this lab special is that Dr. Roger Tsien at UCSD developed a rainbow of colors that we can transform into bacteria in your classroom! Add new comment
Students will use column chromatography to isolate the fluorescent proteins from a mixture of cell debris.
Students will use Tyrosinase extracted from mushrooms to create an enzymatic reaction under different conditions.
Ocean acidification is a phenomenon related to current global climate changes and is becoming a major threat to marine ecosystems ranging from tropical coral reefs to the chilly waters of the Antarctic.
RNAi is an excellent way to examine the process of the central dogma. In this lab, we will look at the microscopic nematode, C. elegans.
