Beschreibung: Beside nucleic acids, proteins and sugars, lipids form the fourth group of biomolecules. In general they can be divided into sterols, glycero- and sphingolipids. This practical course will cover basic methods of lipid analysis and is intended to students that do not regularly work with this class of molecules. Thus we will analyze lipid profiles of tissue extracts derived from different plant organs of different developmental stages.

Specifically the following experiments are planned:

* Extraction and fractionation procedures
* Separation of lipids by thin layer chromatography
* Analysis of fatty acids by gas chromatography
* Further characterization of fatty acid isomers by gas chromatography / mass spectrometry
