| Outline and Purpose of the Course | To understand highly sophisticated catalytic functions of enzyme, especially its substrate specificity and reaction specificity, from a viewpoint of science, we teach kinetics, activity control, and reaction mechanism from basic contents to current situation of forefront research. We also teach industrial application of enzyme. | ||
| Course Goals | Students will learn industrial use of enzymes and accademic research of enzymes and will be able to design one’s own methodology in which enzymes are used to solve various problems. | ||
| Schedule and Contents |
We will conduct a 135-min class five times on the following subjects. No. 1: Basic of Enzyme Chemistry (Yasukawa) No. 2: Industrial use of enzymes (Yasukawa or External lecturer) No. 3: Industrial use of enzymes (Yasukawa or External lecturer) No. 4: Academic research of enzymes (Takita) No. 5: Academic research or enzymes (Yasukawa) |
