C. Seminar:
Preparation for practical session with an accent on the methodological approach and medical aspects D.
D1: Structure and function of proteins: denaturation/renaturation, protein-ligand interactions (UV-Vis, fluorescence and EPR spectroscopy, amperometric analysis of small-molecule interactions)
D2:
Kinetics of SOD and Catalase activity of natural enzymes and their
synthetic mimics (direct stopped-flow methods vs. indirect assays)
