1. Laboratory work. a) Analytical: Basic operations for the purification of organic compounds and the separation of mixtures (recrystallization, distillation, extraction, chromatography). b) Synthetic: Four one-step syntheses.2. Theory. Introduction to IR, and NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.

During the block course in the fall semester, we will carry out biological-chemical protein evolution experiments using molecular genetic mutation technologies and in vivo selection in recombinant bacterial strains. The class with its very dense program consists of the practical course itself and an integrated series of seminar/lecture sessions.
