ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	2.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load. view allocation of credits
Language:	Polish
Main fields of studies for MISMaP:	biology biotechnology chemistry computer science physics
Type of course:	general courses
Prerequisites (description):	Student should have a knowledge in organic chemistry and modern biochemistry, particularly in terms of structure and physico-chemical properties of proteins and the interaction between small and multimolecular components.
Mode:	Classroom
Short description:	The scope of the lecture is the basic knowledge concerning variety of enzymes as well as their structure, specificity and mechanism of action. Based on examples the catalytic and kinetics theories will be described. The diversity in catalytic strategy in enzyme class will be shown. The application of enzymes in the biotechnological processes will be also shown.
Full description:	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
Bibliography:	Engel PC (red) (1996) Enzymology, Academic Press and BIOS Scientific Publisher Ltd, San Diego Oxford, USA and UK Garrett RH, Grisham CM (2010) Biochemistry, 4th edition, Brooks/Cole, Cengage Learning, Boston, USA Materials provided by lecturer
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
Internships:	The lecture credit exam is implemented in the form of the development of an experimental publication on enzymology. The student must analyze the content of the publication using the knowledge gained during the lecture. The English-language publication is assigned at random from a pool prepared by the lecturer
