Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
Become familiar with basic biomolecule and cell structure.
Understand the basic principles of gene expression,regualtion and protein synthesis Grasp the mechanisms and energetics of biomolecule and cell differentiation, conformation and cell communication.
Develop a clear picture of what enzymes are, what their function is and the mechanistic models describing their function in biochemical reactions.
Apply the above knowledge to the basic analysis, design and operation of bioreactors and separation trains.
Become acquainted with the techniques for characterization of biomolecules
