UE Biochemistry 2 : Enzymology and metabolism - BIO439 -

This course aims at acquiring the basics of enzymology (catalysis, Michaelis-Menten equation, catalysis mechanisms) and metabolism (glycolysis, Krebbs cycle, bacterial metabolism). The tutorial sessions consist of application exercises of the concepts seen in class and the preparation of lab sessions. The goal of practical sessions is to learn the manipulation and characterization of enzymes (purification, spectroscopy).

Biomolecular constituents of the cell (BIO131)

Chemical thermodynamics and kinetics for biologists (CHI335) or physical-chemists and biochemists (CHI331)

• Demonstrate the ability to synthesise knowledge acquired during the course
• Demonstrate the ability to use knowledge to solve problems.
• Demonstrate the ability to use constructed reasoning, not just the restitution of knowledge
• Demonstrate the ability to manipulate
• Learn to write reports on practical work and the care taken in their presentation.
