The general part of the course presents advanced topics of enzyme kinetics, enzyme assays with a focus on "high throughput" approaches, regulation of enzymes in the cell, medicinal enzymology, enzyme engineering and mechanisms of enzymatic reactions. The second part will present applied enzymology, namely industrial production of enzymes and current trends in application of enzymes in biotechnology, analytical chemistry, clinical diagnostics and organic synthesis.
Aim of the course -
Last update: Spiwok Vojtěch prof. Ing. Ph.D. (05.03.2014)

Students will be able to:

Design and apply advanced methods for characterisation and application of enzymes in biochemistry research, drug design, food and non-food technologies and analytical chemistry
