28515-01 - Lecture: Enzyme catalysis: an introduction to the chemistry of life 3 CP

Semester fall semester 2018
Course frequency Every fall sem.
Lecturers Marc Creus (marc.creus@unibas.ch, Assessor)
Content Brainstorming, interactive exchanges of information and discussions on the general topic of enzymes are encouraged.
Learning objectives Structure of proteins, principles of catalysis, structure-activity relationships, enzyme kinetics, practical methods for kinetics and equilibria, binders and inhibitors of proteins, entropy/enthalpy of binding, binding-energy in catalysis, specificity, conformational changes/allosteric regulation/motors/switches, introduction to recombinant DNA technology and protein engineering, applications of recombinant enzymes.
Bibliography Students are expected to acquire interest in biochemistry and enzymes in general and to read-up on various topics of interest independently. Sources of information include text-books (biochemistry, protein science, molecular biology, organic chemistry...), from reputable internet sites and from up-to-date scientific publications (reviews, but also relevant original publications).
