Enzymology 1400-215ENZ
There are following tasks of the lecture:
- presentation of different theories about enzymes catalytic power and their physical background
- description, based on examples, the relationship between enzyme catalytic properties and three-dimensional structure of enzymes protein
- description of a different enzyme kinetic in relation to complexity of enzyme structure and types of chemical reaction
- presentation of enzymes classes and different catalytic strategies e.g., evolution of enzyme complexes
- discussion on various types of enzyme specificity and contribution of amino-acid residues and cofactors to enzyme catalysis
- presentation of different types of bioenergetics systems, among others photosynthetic and mitochondrium chain
- demonstration of examples of enzyme utilization for biotechnology
- introduction to laboratory practice in field of enzymes researches

Learning outcomes
After receiving a credit for a course in enzymology the student is capable of:
-understand the theories of enzyme catalytic power
-understand the relationship between 3D enzyme structure and catalytic and kinetic properties
-understand the diversity of catalytic strategies
- possess the knowledge about enzymes’ application in recent biotechnology
The main goal of a lecture is prepared students for critical analysis of scientific lecture concerning enzymes research
Assessment criteria
A written exam is combination of two equivalent parts. First is a short essay about scientific publication received by student two weeks before an exam date. Second concern few questions about the fundamental term and facts described under the lecture. To receive a credit for the course in enzymology it is require to obtain 50% points.
