The 5th UK Workshop on Membrane Proteins training event will focus on the function of biological membranes and the biophysical techniques available to study their components in the context of biology and biotechnology. This event will comprise lectures, workshops and laboratory-based practical sessions.
Key learning objectives
- To understand the basics of membrane protein purification using cutting edge methods.
- To be able to describe the principles and applications of biophysical approaches to studying membrane proteins.
- To be able to undertake practical activities to understand membrane proteins.
Attendees should have a basic grasp of membrane protein structure and function and protein biochemistry more widely. No particular practical experience is required, although some lab experience would be beneficial. The practical elements will focus on the use of polymers to extract membrane proteins without the need for classical detergents.

Flow Induced Dispersion Analysis (FIDA) is a revolutionary, first principle technology for in solution, accurate and reproducible measurement of hydrodynamic radius of biomolecules in complex matrices leading to a wide range of orthogonal biophysics assays. It has been developed for quantification and characterization of proteins and particles with diameter from 0.5 to 1000 nm, including complex interactions, stoichiometry, oligomeric states etc. Visit website
