Welcome

Welcome to my researcher's challenging life!

Currently, I'm working on bioplastic synthase, an enzyme catalyzing the polymerization of the bioplastic. The project is supervised under Assoc. Prof. Dr. Razip, School of biological Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia.

This project can be categorized into 3 parts, namely Cloning, Expression and Crystallization.
Research Laboratory 414 and MBBS crystallization suite are the working location throughout the whole experiment.

Research Lab 414 is a lab for cloning of bacteria and genes, protein expression and bacterial cultures, and some minor works of protein purification and SDS P.A.G.E.
While MBBS is a lab for all protein works such as protein purification (gel filtration/ metal affinity chromatography/ Ion exchange) and protein crystallization (equip with all the cold room facilities and crystallization suite).

This is my working bench in lab414. Is quite messy
(proof of hardworking ma...lol)
