User reviews

Excellent for online biochemistry education

This is an excellent tool for teaching the methods needed for protein isolation and characterization. It has enough depth that it can be used for both introductory and advanced college level biochemistry courses.

Could be better

Idea isn't bad at all. It teaches you something about column selection and describes in general available techniques. However it is as important to know the isoelectric point of the target protein as its thermal and pH stability. Normally for new proteins none of the parameters is known. Need to have more affinity chromatography choices as well because these days it is often the first choice strategy. Would be nice to have a back button so that some steps could be modified without having to start all over.
