Financial support:
◦ Creation of basic molecular biology laboratory for the purposes of protein
expression
◦ Prof. dr Ratko Jankov
◦ During regular studies, both Chemistry and Biochemistry students are
learning structure and function of nucleic acids, both DNA and RNA, as
well as its purification and structure elucidation. All these activities were
based on the roughly prepared nucleic acid preparations. During the first
CEP project supported by WUS, the Department of Biochemistry made a
step forward to the contemporary biochemistry science through the active
implementation of the molecular biology techniques predominantly aimed
at the protein expression level.
