Protein Biotechnology Course held in the Netherlands October 30 -
November 3 1995
Organised by the BioUpdate Foundation, the Netherlands
Studies of the biochemistry of disease, coupled with advances in
recombinant DNA technology have led to massive commercial interest in
the production of highly purified, stable proteins. Apart from protein
therapeutics, expanding markets also exist in diagnostics, industrial
enzymes as biocatalysts, veterinary products and molecular biology
reagents.
This protein biotechnology course addresses developments in protein
technology from protein extraction, through the various protein
purification stages, to their presentation as stable products. The
respective merits of various methods for protein characterisation and
quality control are compared, issues of protein stability are treated in
detail, and topics of current interest, such as protein engineering and
protein glycosylation are reviewed.
