Enzymology
Detailed Overview
Description
This course is a beginner to intermediate level course in enzymology designed specifically for students in science, biochemistry, and medical schools. The course will cover a wide range of subjects such:
a.Classification of enzyme
b.Properties, mechanism and kinetics of enzyme catalyzed reaction
c.Derivation of the Michaelis Menton equation
d.Regulation of enzyme activities
e.Enzyme Inhibition (Reversible and Irreversible)
f.Mechanism of multi-substrate reaction
g.Chemical modes of enzymatic catalysis
h.Binding Modes of enzymatic catalysis
i.Examples of mechanism of some important enzymes (serine proteases and Lysozymes)
j.Solving Exercises
What You Will Learn!
- Understand the role of kinetics in enzymatic reactions
- Differentiate between equilibrium and steady state kinetics and analyze kinetic data
- Solve kinetic related exercises and estimate important parameter (Km. Vmax, Kcat etc)
- Understand the kinetics of enzyme inhibition and regulation
- Comprehend the role of kinetics in understanding reaction mechanisms
- Have the essential knowledge about enzymes which prepares students for more detailed courses if they are acquiring a higher degree
Who Should Attend!
- Bachelor and Masters students in Biochemistry
- Medical students who are studying biochemistry as part of their curriculum and who need to know more about kinetics
- Researchers who are working in a medical filed related to enzyme kinetics
- Students familiar with enzymes who are interested in learning more about enzyme kinetics and mechanisms.
- Anyone who is interested in learning about enzymes
