Description

The module aims to provide chemistry and industrial biotechnology knowledge specifically tailored for biochemical engineers. The module will introduce aspects of industrial biotechnology which are at the interface of biochemistry and chemical synthesis. The course will introduce fundamental chemistry and thermodynamics concepts in the context of industrial biotechnology, and then develop them up to advanced level using industrial biotechnology case studies

Upon successful completion of this advanced module, students should be able to:听

  • Classify and explain the organic chemistry underpinning enzyme mechanisms and protein chemical modifications听

  • Appraise and critique the thermodynamics and physical chemistry principles and assumptions underpinning kinetic and equilibrium analysis of industrial biotechnology processes听

  • Propose and evaluate protein structure, stability and ligand affinity mechanisms, and thermodynamics听

  • Compare and contrast the techniques for enzyme engineering in an industrial biotechnology context听

  • Evaluate the analytical tools available for measuring quality attributes of proteins during bioprocessing and product formulation, and define their strengths and limitations in the regulatory context of pharmaceutical manufacture.
