INVITATION
AIMS AND SCOPE
It gives me immense pleasure to invite you to “2nd National Workshop on Classical Protein Chemistry", to be held at Dr. Panjwani Center for Molecular Medicine and Drug Research during 05-07 January, 2016.
• Understanding the structure and function of proteins is fundamental in biological and biomedical sciences as they have the central role in all cellular activities.
With myriad functions, proteins are among the key macro-molecules in living organisms. Therefore, protein chemistry is an area of major importance in modern biochemistry. Due to the proven signi�icance of protein science in medicine, agriculture, pharmacy, and other biosciences, it is necessary to initiate comprehensive programs to develop expertise, and to train human resources in these �ields.
The workshop on protein science and technology will include a series of lectures on different aspects of protein puri�ication and structural analysis. Hands-on training on different techniques in protein chemistry will also be provided. Lectures and practical training will be focused on the latest approaches for the protein functional, and structural analyses. The participants of the workshop will learn the theoretical and practical aspects of key protein chemistry techniques, including High Performance Liquid Chromatography, Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography, Electrophoresis, Protein Sequencing, Protein Mass Spectroscopy, etc. Prof. Dr. M. Iqbal Choudhary, H.I., S.I., T.I. Director, International Center for Chemical and Biological Sciences, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270, Pakistan
RESOURCE PERSONS Dr. Aftab Ahmed, Chapman University School of Pharmacy, Irvine, California, USA
• Protein chemistry is an area of biochemistry related to purifying proteins, investigating protein structure-function relationship and engineering proteins. • Protein chemistry contributes in many areas of biotechnology, involving recombinant DNA technology, analytical chemistry, clinical chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and protein therapeutics.
This workshop will provide an introduction to the methods and tools used in protein chemistry. It is designed for attendees who have fundamental knowledge of biology. Topics include the isolation and estimation of protein, protein puri�ication techniques, including gel �iltration, ion exchange chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and classical and modern sequencing techniques. Hands-on exercises on these techniques will be provided during workshop.
TARGETED PARTICIPANTS This workshop is designed for attendees of life sciences background, with fundamental knowledge of biochemistry and molecular biology. Participation is open for researchers from academia, R&D institutions, and industries.
