This kit is great for teaching:
- The molecular basis of heredity
- The relationship between genes and proteins
- How E. coli is used to engineer proteins useful in medicine and manufacturing
The lab is set up in 3 modules that can be purchased separately and used in conjunction with one another.
Module 1, the Green Gene Colony Transformation Kit, is necessary for creating the GFP-expressing bacteria used in the protein purification exercise in Module 2.
Module 2 contains all the reagents and instructions necessary for purifying GFP from E. coli.
Module 3 contains the acrylamide gels and other electrophoresis reagents necessary for electrophoretic analysis of the purified GFP. The 3rd module is optional but increases the teaching value of the lab.
** Kit and perishable components will ship separately and may arrive on different days.
