Objectives Students will learn the modern technologies behind bio-technological production of proteins, nucleic acids and lipids
Subject Biochemical technology

  • Definition and industrial applications of biochemical technology
  • Definition I: biopolymers (protein, DNA, carbohydrates, lipids) are subjected to chemical modification or genetic engineering to enhance their functional properties and tailor them to specific applications in industry or healthcare
  • Definition II: generation of enzymes that are used as tools for the bio-assisted industrial synthesis of vitamins or oligosaccharides

Proteins

  • Peptide synthesis (review)
  • Synthesis of semisynthetic proteins (expressed protein ligation)
  • Genetic strategies for protein engineering
  • Chemical tools for targeted modifications of proteins
  • Industrial application: PEGylation of therapeutic proteins
  • Industrial application: Generation of engineered lipases for application in detergents

Nucleic Acids

  • Solid Phase Oligonucleotide Synthesis (chemical differences to biosynthesis)
  • Chemical synthesis of RNA
  • Industrial application: Synthesis of modified bases carrying fluorophores and chemical tags for immobilization of relevance in DNA microarrays and sequencing technology

Lipids

  • Application: Biofuels
