About the course
Aim
After completing this course, the student should be:
- Able to interprete the meaning of kinetic parameters in terms of enzyme function.
- Able to describe the relationship between structure and function for proteins/enzymes.
- Able to construct and interprete a purification scheme for proteins.
- Able to analyze laboratory data and write a laboratory report.
Content
Theory: Structure and function of enzymes. Protein folding, enzyme kinetics with different types of inhibitions. Factors causing enzyme catalysis, characterization of the active site, examples of the reation mechansims of certain enzymes. Laborations: Purification of a protein with ionic change chromatography. Functional analysis of enzymes: Enzyme activity measurement, pH-dependance, chromatogram, kinetic- and spectrophotometric studies.
