Student has gained prior knowledge in:
- the structure and reactivity of organic compounds
- basic concepts in biochemistry (structure of DNA and proteins, the application of enzymes as biological catalysts)
|
|
|
|
In this course, students will gain an advanced understanding of the field of recombinant DNA technology and its application in the design and production of protein-based materials. Students will deepen their understanding of the fundamental concepts and will learn to apply these insights in real life problems.
- Proteins as building blocks in materials science
- Recombinant DNA technology
- Gene cloning and PCR
- Sequencing technologies and DNA libraries
- Protein expression and purification
- Post- and co-translational modifications
- Selected applications
- Nanobodies in biosensing
- Design and expression of Elastin-like proteins
The objective of this course is to enhance students' understanding and practical application of recombinant DNA technology for protein design and production. By the end of the course, students will be able to:
-
Demonstrate knowledge and comprehension of the purposes and benefits of recombinant DNA techniques.
-
Understand the fundamental principles of recombinant DNA technology as it relates to protein-based materials.
-
Analyze problem situations through case studies, formulate hypotheses, and select appropriate research methodologies and techniques to adapt proteins based on application-specific requirements.
-
Translate practical issues into experimental workflows, simulate these workflows using computational methods, and effectively communicate the results through written and oral reports.

|
| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | The student is required to complete the individual assignment by submitting both a written report and giving an oral presentation of the proposed experimental workflow. Also the written exam with oral explanation is a mandatory part of the evaluation. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | If the student fails to meet the evaluation criteria because of an unjustified reason, a final mark will not be assigned. Instead, an 'N' will be displayed on the score sheet, indicating not all evaluation criteria have been met. |
|
|
|
| Additional information | For students with an exam contract: The scheduled presentation during the study period will be substituted with an alternative assignment during the exam period. |
|
Second examination period
| Evaluation second examination opportunity different from first examination opprt | |
|
| Explanation (English) | An evalution component (exam, written report and/or oral presentation) will only need to be redone if the student did not achieve a score of 10 out of 20 for these parts. |
