Course content
The discipline "Methods of Molecular Biology" is part of the educational program of professional training of specialists at the educational level "Bachelor". The course is devoted to the study of the principles of modern methods of molecular biological research and the peculiarities of their application in the analysis of biological macromolecules and interactions between them. In the course of studying the discipline the possibilities and limitations of using different methods of molecular biology to achieve a specific scientific and practical task, the principles of choosing the most appropriate method, based on the purpose of the study. The course outlines a range of molecular biological research methods that can be used in conducting experiments in related sciences and in interdisciplinary research.
