Description
The module will equip students with an understanding of basic biochemistry, molecular biology and molecular genetics and how the science underpins bioprocess operations. Students gain in-depth learning about the properties of various small and macromolecules and how these build the cell structures and cell types they will be using and studying in their Biochemical Engineering degree.
Upon completion of the course, a student should be able to:
- Describe the biological molecules, their structure and function.
- Evaluate the properties of enzymes, their function in metabolic pathways and calculate basic enzyme kinetics.
- Characterise the major metabolic pathways of cell growth and metabolism.
- Recognise the cellular structures of bacteria, yeast and mammalian cells.
- Apply the fundamentals of genetics to construction and use recombinant DNA.
- Manipulate DNA and E.coli for cloning and demonstrate protein expression and purification for analysis.
