Markgräfin Wilhelmine Gymnasium Bayreuth
On the 30th of April, the A-level class in Biology of the MWG Bayreuth had the opportunity to spend a day at the Institute of biochemistry III.
After a short introduction to proteins and their application, especially in the lab of Prof. Birte Höcker, the students were able to learn about the day to day work in a protein biochemistry lab.

First, the students got a tour of the lab, where they were introduced to all the different devices and methods that are used for protein purification and characterization.
Then, they to to perform some protein experiments in the lab, for example purifying a mixture of proteins by their size or performing a SDS-PAGE to check the purity of the proteins.
To gain some insight on the 3D-strucutes of proteins, Prof. Krauß provided his VR-glasses to take a closer look at the structure of the green fluorescent protein (GFP). We hope the students enjoyed their visit and that this opportunity might spark their enthusiasm for science

BC Cup 2024
On thursday July 25th the Biochemie Cup 2024 took place.
Team Protein Design made the first place!

Den Proteinen auf der Spur - Graf Münster Gymnasium Bayreuth

Predictive Reagent Antibody Replacement Technology:
PRe-ART Symposium 2019
SEPTEMBER 18TH - 19TH 2019 | Bayreuth Campus
The PRe-ART and PRe-ART-2T projects take an interdisciplinary approach to establish a novel detection system. To exchange ideas and gather new perspectives on our challenge we had the opportunity to host a scientific symposium in Bayreuth. We are proud of inviting leading voices of the protein design, protein engineering and protein evolution communities.
