Outline and Purpose of the Course This class provides fundamental knowledge and technical information for experiments and dissertation to master course students who are interested in biophysical chemistry, bioelectrochemistry, and bioanalytical chemistry.
Course Goals By taking this course students will:
Acquire a high level of specialized knowledge and research techniques related to topics such as the mechanisms of life phenomena and the application of biological functions. Develop the awareness that they specialize in a highly creative field of biophysical chemistry, and make it their mission to contribute to innovative technological advances.
Schedule and Contents 1) Structure and Function of Redox Enzymes
We will focus on quinoproteins, flavoproteins, and metal-containing redox enzymes from the viewpoints of isolation, structural analysis, gene cloning, expression system, and spectroscopic and electrochemical characterization.

2) Charge Transfer though Lipid Bilayers
We will learn and discuss physical chemistry and electrochemistry of ion and electron transfer through lipid bilayers.

3) Fundamental and Application of Bioelectrocatalysis
We will learn combination of redox enzymatic reaction and electrode reaction and develop theoretical viewpoint of electrochemistry and enzyme chemistry. We will propose a variety of applications of bioelectrocatalysis to biosensors and biofuel cells.
Evaluation Methods and Policy Attendance, discussion, oral-presentation, report
