| The goal | The aim of the course is to give the students more fundamentals and practical knowledge about general rules for optimization, modeling and design of enzymatic and other bioprocesses in non-conventional media. Based on selected topics from pharmaceutical industry students will be able to implement both biochemical and engineering knowledge in order to design new and improve current biotechnological processes. | |||
| The outcome | After the course students will gain knowledge of basic principle of biocatalysis in actual biotechnological and pharmaceutical processes in non-conventional media. They will be able to apply the theoretical knowledge to specific industrial bioprocess, predict the course of a biochemical process by kinetic calculation and design new processes in these complex systems. | |||

| Contents of exercises | The Lab is design to equip the students with the necessary tools for obtaining and analyzing kinetic data effectively. Two-substrate esterification reactions in organic solvent catalyzed by lipase is used as a model reaction. Lab includs 1) Kinetics of lipase-catalyzed two-substrate esterification model; 2) Kinetics of penicillin acylase-catalyzed synthesis of an intermediate for semi-synthetic β-lactam; 3) Production of lipase by Aspergillus oryzae, purification and characterization; 4) Production of bioactive protein hydrolyzates and determination of their biological activities. | |||
