Following methods will be covered during the Photobiology School:
- Determination of photosynthesis rate by polarographic oxygen measurement method;
- Western blot analysis (immunoblotting);
- Computational workshop on homology modeling of protein structure;
- Plasmid DNA purification and its analysis by agarose electrophoresis;
- Real-time polymerase chain reaction (rtPCR) or quantitative PCR (qPCR);
- Methods of detection of reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, in particular, hydrogen peroxide, in biological objects (higher plants) and in different solutions;
- Rapid gas–liquid partition chromatography (GLPC) method for determination of acetate, propionate, butyrate and isobutyrate in cultural medium;
- Measurements of photosynthetic activity of higher plants by the method of Pulse Amplitude Modulation fluorimetry;
- Spectroscopy of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR);
- Analysis of pigment composition of photosynthetic organisms using High-performance liquid chromatography.
