Publication at Faculty of Science |

Abstract

The paper summarizes knowledge about teaching molecular biology methods at high schools. Electrophoresis is one of the most used among them and therefore the project introduces the principle of SDS-PAGE and its potential use.

In this paper I describe tested proposal of laboratory task for high school students. The project includes preparation of samples, separation of proteins, use of SDS-PAGE followed by protein visualization.

The project may be done in subjects chemistry and/or biology, for example within the purview of seminar and may lead to expansion of molecular methods at high schools.
