Objectives
The students make use in this practical course of the knowledge about enzymes and their properties by using them in enzymatic analytical methods and in simulations of industrial processes.


Topics
Several immobilisation methods are performed with the use of different types of reactors.
The properties of immobilized enzymes are compared with these of the free enzymes.
The role of enzymes in process control and in analytical methods are investigated.



Prerequisites
Profound knowledge of enzymology (course thirth year).

Assessment
Evaluation during course - report of the results

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 subcompetencies 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. Of course the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less. For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
