| Outline and Purpose of the Course | In the first half, Dr. Takahashi will make a lecture on screening of enzyme inhibitors from food. In the latter half, Dr. Fujiwara will make a lecture on hyperthermophiles in extreme environment. | ||
| Course Goals | The purposes of the first half are to understand the renin-angiotensin system, preparation of recombinant renin, estabilishment of the screening system, and the screening of enzyme inhibitors from food. Students will be able to well understand various researches to which protein engineering and screening of enzyme inhibitors from food are related. The purposes of the latter half are to understand the mechanism by which hyperthermophiles suvive in extreme environment, especially focusing on characteristics of chaperonin and enzymes. Students will be able to well understand various researces using microorganisms in extreme environment, thermostable enzymes, genetic methods. | ||
| Schedule and Contents |
Lectures will focus on the following: Dr. Takahashi lecutures No. 1 to 4 in 270 min at day 1. Dr. Fujiwara lectures No. 5 to 10 in 405 min at day 2. No.1: Blood pressure control by renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and characterization of RAS-related enzymes No.2: Expression and characterization of recombinant human renin No.3: RAS-related enzyme inhibitors in foodstuffs No.4: Summary No.5: Hyperthermophile as a primitive life No.6: Unique biomaterials found in hyperthermophiles No.7: Relationship between biodiversity and low temperature adaptation of hyperthermophiles No.8: Role of multiple chaperonins to adopt various environments No.9: Application benefit of enzymes and unique biomaterials from extremophiles No.10: Summary |
