comprehension of enzymatic processes on the molecular level focussing on aspects of organic chemistry; transfer to artificial catalytic systems
chemistry of biologically relevant molecues (amino acids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, lipids/terpenes)
prebiotic chemistry (self replication, catalytic activity, homochirality)
mechanism of enzymatic reactions with organic molecules on molecular level (effects of prosthetic groups, coenzyme chemistry)
modifications of this catalytic activity development of catalytic systems from enzymatic models bioinspired molecular devices (self organisation, self assembly)
ATTENTION: due to absence of office the course will start on Nov 20, 2018!
