The course aims to familiarise students with the principles and applications of analytical approaches utilising specific interactions between biomolecules. The course emphasises methods that provide high specificity (biospecificity), sensitivity and low detection limits, which are essential for analysing complex biological samples. Students will acquire the theoretical foundations and practical knowledge necessary for the use of enzymatic methods, electromigration techniques, immunochemical approaches, genetic methods (especially the polymerase chain reaction and its variants), proteomics methods and other biochemical or microbiological analyses. The course aims to prepare students to select and use appropriate bioanalytical methods independently in research, clinical or diagnostic practice.

1. Introduction: definition of bioanalytical methods and the basics of the isolation and stability of biological material.
2–3. Enzyme methods: enzymes as analytical reagents; determination of substrates and activators; and enzyme methods in clinical and experimental practice.
4.-5. Immunochemical methods: principles; characterisation of antigen-antibody interactions; preparation and use of antibodies; immunoprecipitation methods and their use in practice; sensitive techniques (e.g. ELISA); methods using radionuclides.
6.-7. Electrophoretic methods: principles; SDS electrophoresis; isoelectric focusing; blotting techniques; characterisation of analytes after separation by electrophoretic methods; colour and chemiluminescent detection.
8.-9. Genetic methods: principles, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), detection of specific product sequences in situ and determination of the primary sequence of nucleic acids.
