Learning outcomes

After passing the course the student will understand theory and methods of biocatalysis and enzymology and their applications in molecular, microbial and environmental studies. He/she will learn basic techniques in the analysis of enzyme kinetics and biotransformations, mechanisms of enzyme induction, repression and de-repression and structure and function of proteins.

Content

Content Core content Complementary knowledge Specialist knowledge
1. Outlines of theory of biocatalysis   Theory of biocatalysis   
2. Methods of biocatalysis studies  Complementary knowledge of techniques used in biocatalysis studies   
3. Applications of biotransformation  Industrial scale applications   
4. Structure and function of proteins  Protein folding   

Evaluation criteria for the course

The grade will be determined on the basis of an exam. To pass the course with a grade 1 the student will have to score at least 50 % of the maximum points in the exam. A good understanding the core content will suffice to a grade 3. In order to earn a grade 4 or 5 the student will have to have a good or excellent understanding of complementary knowledge.

Assessment scale:

Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course
