Prerequisites

BSc in Chemical Biology and courses in Protein Chemistry and Protein Engineering

Intended learning outcomes

The course should give knowledge on industrial processes in which enzymes are used and give a deep insight on the demands that the process put on the enzyme properties and vice versa, i.e. the demands on the design of the process to allow efficient use of enzymes. The course should also give insight in which methods and techniques that can be used to affect or alter the enzymic properties for efficient use in industrial processes.

After completing the course, the student should be able to:

Describe and explain how enzymes are used in a broad spectrum of industrial processes and describe how different enzymes can be modified for optimal performance in these processes.

Describe and explain the fundamental chemical, technical and physical properties that govern an efficient use of enzymes in industrial processes.

Plan and initiate an industrial process in which the use of an enzyme is a central part.

Present the planning, analysis and evaluation of an industrial process using enzyme technology in the form of a technical report.

Course content

The lecture and project work gives in-depth insight in methodologies and approaches regarding the use of enzymes in industrial processes. Enzymes are presently used in many industrial sectors and several of these are discussed in the course. The course will in particular detail consider processes within the sectors of: food industry, small molecule synthesis, bioenergy production, environmental biotechnology, pulp and paper production, textile- and leather production.

Teaching and working methods

Teaching is organised in lectures, seminars, and project work. A large part of the course is pursued as individual projects and in project groups of 2-3 students. The course runs over the second half of the spring semester.
