Practical Introduction to Experimental Methods in Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry

An overview of the relationship between protein sequence, conformation and function.

Overview of modern chemical biology and synthetic biochemistry techniques, focussed on protein modification and labeling and on methods to endow proteins with novel functionalities.

In this block course we will prepare proteins bearing site-specifically installed post-translational modifications using genetic code expansion. The impact of the post-translational modifications on enzymatic activity and protein-protein interactions will be studied.

Structure, function and chemistry of nucleic acids and carbohydrates.
