Heterologous Expression

The production of technical enzymes as well as of peptide- and protein- based pharmaceuticals are in large scale being performed in specially designed host organisms.

 

The aim of the course is to educate the students in processes associated with heterologous expression. The students will upon completion of this course be able to design and perform a strategy for the expression of a given gene. This includes considerations about amount, quality and downstream applications of the product.

 

The course will contain a theoretical part where most aspects of peptide and protein production in biological organisms will be discussed. You will acquire knowledge on the variety of possible host organisms found in the different kingdoms. We will discuss the possibilities of designing and finding new suitable expression hosts.
