Ellyn says

DNA is the FlashFlash but

Proteins are the CashCash of the Biotech Industry

Important and interesting because:

• So many different proteins with so many functions.

• Over 2000 different proteins/cell (humans make over 40K)

• So complex and sensitive to changes-cause big change

• Often the product of a biotech company!

Foods, Pharmaceuticals/Drug Development, Industrial Products

Protein Function

Hormones, antibodies, pigments, transport, contractile, structural, recognition, toxins, and enzymes

Protein Manufacturing• Protein ID and Characterization

• R&D Assay Development

• R&D Protein Engineering

• Manufacturing & Protein Purification

San Mateo Biotechnology Career Pathway www.SMBiotech.com

Giving motivated students the skills to pursue many career & academic options.

Enzymes are used and studied in all SMBCP courses.

Biological Science Prerequisite

Biotechnology 1•SLOP proficiencies

Biotechnology 2•Modeling the production of a recombinant protein (amylase)

Biotechnology 3•Agricultural & Pharmaceutical Biotechnology

Biotechnology 4•Protein & DNA Diagnostics

Biotechnology Internship•Unpaid (minimum) 220 hr industry lab position

Biotech:S4NM Enzyme Labs:

• Cheese-Making (Lab 1c)

• Apple-Juicing (Lab 5b)

• Protease Activity (Lab 5c)

• Amylase Activity (Labs 6c, 6d, & 6e)

• Peroxidase Activity in Plant and Animal Samples (Lab 6f)

• HRP Activity Assays w/ TMB indicator (Lab 11f-h)

• ELISA

• Western Blots

HRP is used in Research and Manufacturing to identify and quantify colorless proteins:

My Professional Goals

• Biotechnology programs in every high school, CTE center, and community college, tailored to the student population and industry and community needs• Aligned and articulated programs in HS and CC so that

teenagers and adults have the same platform from which to enter specialized programs• To make it as easy as possible for educators to do the other 2
