Nature often plays with the most magnificent colors. We will show some especially colorful proteins, which come from life forms from the depths of the seas, as examples with which to explain the daily work done in a biochemical-molecular biological laboratory.

Hands-on experiments:

We will pipette the smallest amounts of solutions and isolate the genetic material – the DNA – from Kiwis and use chromatography to separate colors. In the large lab in the Biochemistry House (Haus der Biochemie).

Time:
17:00 - midnight
Duration: 15 min

All presentations will be conducted in German
