Annotation -

Last update: Spiwok Vojtěch prof. Ing. Ph.D. (14.01.2018)

The general part of the course presents enzyme nomenclature, their covalent structure and structures of cofactors, enzyme kinetics, enzyme assays, 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, application of enzymes in food and non-food industry, enzyme-associated changes in food and raw materials and the role of enzymes in analytical chemistry, clinical diagnostics molecular biology research and organic synthesis.

Aim of the course -

Last update: Hladíková Jana (13.12.2017)

Students will be able to:

Design experiments for characterisation and application of enzymes and analyse their results. These skills will be applicable in biochemistry research, drug design, food and non-food technologies and analytical chemistry
