The course presents enzyme nomenclature, their covalent structure and structures of cofactors, enzyme kinetics, enzyme assays and activity calculation, regulation of enzymes in the cell, medicinal enzymology, enzyme engineering and mechanisms of enzymatic reactions. Furthermore, it will present industrial production of enzymes, application of enzymes in industry, analytical chemistry, clinical diagnostics, molecular biology research and organic synthesis.

Only students with a credit can register for an exam. Credit can be obtained based on a written solution of an individual enzyme kinetics assignment in given deadline. The exam comprises a written and oral part. Students must reach at least 50 % from the test. Last update: Spiwok Vojtěch (15.04.2025)

The course combines the frontal and inverse didactics. The teacher presents and students listen and contribute to short activities (questions, discussion, ballots). In special cases (enzyme kinetics, enzyme aktivity calculation etc), students collaborate on complex calculations, which supports team work and knowledge sharing.
