What it is about

In this module you will learn methods for optimizing enzymes, particularly through targeted modification of the primary structure. You will acquire knowledge of rational, computer-aided and evolutionary approaches as well as high-throughput methods and robotics, and you will be able to outline options for improving technically limited enzymes and estimate the effort involved.

What you will be able to do

  • Analysis of molecular limitations of enzymes
  • Indication of optimization options for technically limited enzymes
  • Estimation of the effort required for enzyme improvements
  • Theoretical implementation of the methods in the lab course
  • Use of bioinformatic tools (e.g., docking, energy minimization)
  • Evaluation of computational predictions
  • Generation of improved enzyme variants for a specific target

What the module consists of

  • VorlesungVermittlung der notwendigen Grundlagen; Ex-cathedra-Lehre
  • SeminarVertiefung und Anwendung bioinformatischer Werkzeuge, Literaturpräsentationen, Erarbeitung konkreter Problemstellungen und Erstellung eines schriftlichen Berichts

Teaching method

  • Ex-cathedra-VorlesungVermittlung aller notwendigen Grundlagen
  • Selbstständige Erarbeitung und ReferateStudierende erarbeiten Methoden anhand aktueller Literatur und stellen sie vor
  • Geführtes Seminar mit Skript und PC-gestützten ÜbungenAnleitung durch einzelne Schritte des rationalen Enzymdesigns und praktische Anwendung der Software
  • Bereitstellung von Folienskripten und Vorlesungsfolien onlineErgänzung und Nacharbeit der Inhalte
