Key words
Biochemistry, Enzymology, Biokatalysis
Objectives
Close examination of the actions and the properties of free and immobilized enzymes in view of their applications in enzymatic analysis and industrial processes.
Topics
The structure of several groups of biocatalysts is discussed (enzymes, ribozymes, abzymes and synzymes).
Beside the kinetics and the diverse forms of inhibition, are the applications of free and immobilized enzymes in food analysis, medicine and industry explained.
The kinetic parameters and the inhibition of the enzymatic reactions are determined in the practical courses.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of the principles of biochemistry.
Final Objectives
The student should be able to analyse and solve practical problems by linking them to the course curriculum.
An ability to interpret results and to state them in the right context is expected, together with the ability of detecting errors and fallacies.
Materials used
Teacher’s course for practical and theoretical course.
Study costs
Cost: 7.0 EUR
Study guidance
Possibility to consult the teacher after the lecture or by appointment.

Teaching Methods
Lectures and exercises.
Assessment
Oral examination of the theoretical courses : 66,66 %
Permanent evaluation of the practical courses : 33,33 %
A weighted average is used to compute the final score for a training item.
However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items), he proves that his skill for certain subcompetences is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus.
