Practical Introduction to Experimental Methods in Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry

Experimental methods for the purification, analysis and characterization of proteins and nucleic acids. Work on small research projects.

The lecture teaches central reactions and metabolic pathways of biochemistry as well as molecular biology with emphasis on chemical and partly biophysical aspects.

The lecture is a basic introductory course on the molecular principles of biology for students who need to pass this course for admission to their MSc curriculum.

The lecture Biology I, together with the lecture Biology II in the following summer semester, is a basic, introductory course into Biology for Students of Materials Sciences and other students with biology as subsidiary subject.

The lecture course Biology II, together with the course Biology I of the previous winter semester, is a basic introductory course into biology for students of materials sciences, of chemistry and of chemical engineering.

The course covers biophysical methods for characterising conformational transitions and reaction mechanisms of proteins and other biological macromolecules. It is especially suited for students in the Biology MSc Majors “Structural Biology & Biophysics”, “Biochemistry”and “Chemical Biology”, as well as for MSc students of “Chemistry and Interdisciplinary Natural Sciences”.

Laboratory course with advanced experiments in the plant sciences, biochemistry, and structural biology.

This 1st year Laboratory course introduces the student to the entire range of classical and modern molecular biosciences. During this course (Praktikum GL BioI) the students will do three praktikum days in:- Biochemistry- Cell Biology I- Microbiology- Plant Anantomy & Ecology(total of 12 experiments)Each experiment takes one full day.

The lecture provides an introduction to the basics of biochemistry and molecular biology as well as evolutionary principles. The focus is on bacteria and archaea under consideration of universal concepts.

Amino acids; structure of proteins; folding; dynamics and evolution; protein purification; sugars and polysaccharides; lipids and membranes. Enzymatic catalysis. Metabolism; Gene expression and propagation of genetic information; structure of DNA; ; transcription; protein biosynthesis; DNA replication. Gene technology; production of recombinant proteins

The course provides an introduction to Biochemistry / Molecular Biology with some emphasis on chemical and biophysical aspects.

The course provides an introduction to Biochemistry / Molecular Biology with some emphasis on chemical and biophysical aspects.

The lecture provides an introduction to the function and regulations of cells.

This Concept Course explores the molecular and structural mechanisms underlying key processes in gene expression and protein biogenesis. The course will present advanced mechanistic aspects of the organization and regulation of chromatin, transcription, RNA maturation, translation, and the pathways of protein folding, modification, trageting to membranes, and quality control.

Microanalytics of proteins and proteomes. Edman sequencing and chemical modification of proteins, modern proteome analytics, including MALDI-TOF and electrospray mass spectrometry, HPLC separation of peptides after proteolytic proteome digestion. Actual lieterature in protein chemistry.
