Course content
|
Relationship between structure and function - physical and chemical properties of biopolymers, biopolymers and information. Spontaneous and induced changes in the structure of biopolymers - nuclei acid damage by physical and chemical factors, targeted mutagenesis, recombinant proteins, synthetic biopolymers. Examples of the use of biopolymers - molecular recognition, detection and diagnostic methods using biopolymers, gene therapy, biochips and biosensors.
