Course objectives
The objective of the laboratory course are studies of basic properties of compounds important for biochemistry, and methodological approaches in the study and analytical application of enzymes. Content of the first part includes qualitative and quantitative reactions of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, proteins and nucleic acids. The second part is oriented to enzyme kinetics and further studies on properties of free enzymes as well as enzymes which are immobilized in cells.
Syllabus
  • Qualitative reactions of carbohydrates. Carbohydrate thin-layer chromatography.

Assessment methods (in Czech)
První cvičení je věnováno poučení z bezpečnosti práce v biochemické laboratoři. Před každým dalším cvičením se písemným testem ověřuje příprava studenta na danou úlohu. Závěrečný test ověřuje znalosti z principů všech úloh.
