The Center for Professional Advancement, Amsterdam
12-13 November 2007
Who Should Attend:
This is an introductory-level course for those interested in learning more about the molecular dynamics of living systems. It is intended for research, supervisory, scale-up or manufacture, and other technical operations personnel with some scientific background who are and those involved in, or contemplating participation in:Biotechnology
Biomedical Engineering
Microbiology
Toxicology
Molecular Biology
Description:
Biochemistry pertains to the study of living systems at the molecular level and provides a background appropriate for further work in the growing technologies of biochemical engineering, biotechnology, microbiology, toxicology and molecular biology. This course will focus on selected aspects of biochemistry that provide the non-specialist with the principles for understanding the structure and function relationships of biomolecules including DNA, proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates, and monoclonal antibodies. Metabolic pathways, their regulation and control, the biocatalytic process, and laboratory and bioprocess separation techniques will be highlighted. Protein purification techniques will be utilized in a “hands-on” fashion using a computer program which simulates a test case of purification.
