BIOL 407 - Diagnostic Enzymology


Credits: 3

This course is aimed at contributing to students’ knowledge of the role of diagnostic enzymology in diagnosis of diseases at certain stages outside histological recognition. The course will begin with an introduction to enzymology and kinetics of enzymatic reactions, fundamental aspects of measurement of enzyme activities, basis of diagnostic enzymology, spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic measurements of reaction products, problems associated with sample used for assays, and the main types of samples for enzyme analysis, including urine, blood, and milk. Practical aspects involving measurement of enzyme reaction rates, special problems regarding the reliability of enzyme assays, and specific examples of the value of diagnostic enzymology using enzymes from the typical samples will be discussed.

Prerequisites: BIOL 2110C , BIOL 2120C , and CHM 471 or permission of the instructor.
Offered: Spring.
