My current research agenda is on the guidelines of my coursework. The most interesting, is an independent research project over the purification and partial characterization of an enzyme. The goal of this project is to devise a purification protocol to purify our enzyme from crude starting materials to a state where it is relatively pure. We will take it as far as we can within the constraints of time and available equipment. During this process we will become familiar with the various techniques available to purify enzymes. We will also become familiar with the kinds of decisions involved in designing, organizing, and executing a multi-step protocol.
