Summary
The enzymatic catalysis course begins with an introduction to protein structure. It then details the major mechanisms behind the remarkable catalytic effect of enzymatic systems. The course concludes with a presentation of the applications of the two classes of enzymes most used in research laboratories or in industry (hydrolases and oxidoreductases).
Educational goals
- Know the chemical structure of proteinogenic amino acids and understand protein structures. - Know how to mobilise knowledge of organic chemistry to explain the catalytic effects observed at the active site of the enzyme. - Implement an experimental approach to determine the kinetic parameters of an enzyme catalysed reaction. - Be aware of the applications of enzymatic catalysis (and more generally biocatalysis) in research and production activities as an alternative to chemical catalyses.
