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 isolate the genetic material – the DNA – from Kiwis, denaturate protein and present some experiments of surprise . 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

18:00-18:30
