Learning outcomes

This module encompasses the following learning outcomes in Biochemistry: 

  • You possess specialized knowledge about enzymes and their functioning (kinetics) linked to metabolism in the context of both primary and secondary metabolism; 

  • You visualize organelles in fungi using a fluorescence microscope and process the results using ImageJ/FIJI, documenting this in a labjournal following the provided guidelines; 

  • You demonstrate gene expression in fungi using Western blotting and document this in a labjournal following the provided guidelines; 

  • You determine enzyme kinetic parameters using spectroscopic methods, select the appropriate statistical model to analyze the results, and document this in a labjournal following the provided guidelines; 

  • You explore choices within the program through activities such as the Minors Fair and Master's Information Sessions. 

Content

In this module, you will deepen your  biochemical knowledge within primary and secondary metabolism. The acquired knowledge will be assessed in a written exam. Subsequently, you will apply the concepts of enzyme kinetics in a practical component by employing statistical methods. By utilizing data visualization, you  can develop skills that assist in processing and analyzing images. These skills are then applied in a practical component.
