Course description
Fundamental knowledge of relationship between the structure and function of protein will be explained. We also teache basic knowledge of the protein engineering especially, site directed mutagenesis . The application of the enzymes and proteins will be introduced.
Google class code is "hlro5sz".
Expected Learning
The students will know the relationship between the structure and funciton of proteins and how we can analysis and improve those fuctions with protein engineering. Commercialization is also very important process for the studetns in Dept. Engineering, so we will introduce those successful examples.
Course schedule
The following issues will be lectured.
1. Fundamental understanding of the structure of ptoteins as polypeptides.
2. Fundamental methodologies for the analyses of protein structures.
3. The methodology for comparison of protein structures.
4. The methodology for structural prediction of proteins.
5. The methodology for prediction of interactions of proteins.
6. How to transform the E. coli with the target gene.
7. How to produce target proteins in E. coli.
8. How to change amino acid of the target protein (site directed mutagensis).
9. Nucleic acid engineering.
10. Aptamer
11. Commercially available enzymes.
12. The problems in commecialization of proteins.

Prerequisites
To better understanding, it is recommended to take the lecture of "Basic phycics", "Basic Chemistry" and "Basic biology". This is a part of learning the course of Biochemistry and Molecular biology.
Required Text(s) and Materials
Introduction of protein science, edited by Fumio Arisaka, Shokabo.
