Protein Production & Characterization Facility Workshop

May 29-30, 2003

Lee Makowski and Jim Brainard (organizers)

Location: Building 202, Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne National Laboratory will be hosting a 1 1/2 day workshop on the Protein Production and Characterization Facility. This workshop will seek to

(i) build the scientific case for a Facility
(ii) discuss the technical challenges faced by the Facility
(iii) address the question as to what such a Facility should encompass

The workshop will be attended by representatives from DOE and NIH and scientists from the national lab system and academia.

Sessions will address the

(i) future needs for protein production and characterization that are driving the development of this facility
(ii) the technical challenges involving cloning; expression; purification; and characterization;
(iii) the special problems involved in expressing membrane proteins; periplasmic proteins and very large proteins.
(iv) the technical challenges of developing affinity reagents specific to each protein produced.
