Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.

fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with

Course objectives

The goals of the laboratory course are studies of basic properties of compounds important for biochemistry, and methodological approaches in the study and analytical application of enzymes. Content of the first part includes qualitative and quantitative reactions of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, proteins and nucleic acids. The second part is oriented to enzyme kinetics and further studies on properties of free enzymes as well as enzymes which are immobilized in cells.

Syllabus

• Qualitative reactions of carbohydrates. Determination of glucose using a biosensor. Carbohydrate thin-layer chromatography.
• Isolation and identification of lipids from the egg yolk.
• Protein electrophoresis of the blood serum. Determination and chromatographic separation of leaf pigments. Gel permeation chromatography in separation of biomolecules.
• Chemical reactions of amino acids and proteins. Determination of amino acids and peptides. Paper chromatography of amino acids. Protein isolation.
• Isolation and properties of nucleic acids.
• Heat dependence of enzyme reaction.
• Protein determination.
• pH effect on enzyme reaction. Determination of the rate of enzyme reaction.
• Substrate specifity of enzymes. Determination of enzyme activity.
• Enzyme kinetics. Enzyme inhibition.
• Enzymatic determination of metabolites.
• Electron transport chain of aerobic organisms.
• Closing test.

Assessment methods (in Czech)

První cvičení je věnováno poučení z bezpečnosti práce v biochemické laboratoři. Před každým dalším cvičením se písemným testem ověřuje příprava studenta na danou úlohu. Závěrečný test ověřuje znalosti z principů všech úloh.

Language of instruction

Czech
