Overview
Organic chemists, enzymologists, microbiologists and (bio)chemical engineers from the faculty staff of Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) and other universities, together with invited international experts from industry, will offer a selection of theory and practice.
In this way, the Biocatalysis and Protein Engineering course will provide an intensive and in-depth treatment of the state of the art and the necessary link between fundamental knowledge and practical applications in industrial scale processes.
What you will learn
During the lectures attention will be paid to the following questions:
- When is biocatalysis the preferred method?
- Which type of biocatalysis should be used?
- How to obtain / improve this biocatalyst?
- Which reaction types can be carried out?
- How to perform and monitor the conversion?
- How to optimize the reaction conditions?
Programme Structure
Topics include:
- Principles and applications of enantioselection
- Industrial Applications of Biocatalysis for Antibiotic and Pharmaceutical synthesis
- Case study: Reactions of serine hydrolases
- Engineering nature’s enzyme repertoire for food, pharma and biofuels
- Economics and Implementation of Biocatalytic Processes
- From natural environment to biocatalyst
