KEMB03. This course deals with theoretical and practical aspects of biochemical techniques in the areas of: protein purification and characterization, including precipitation, gel filtration, ion-exchange, adsorption and affinity chromatography; 2D-electrophoresis including isoelectric focusing and SDS-PAGE; mass-spectrometry; electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy; information search. The extensive experimental part of the course involves all the methods mention above and is performed as specific short projects. Under supervision the student will search information in scientific databases, plan experiments, perform the experiments, critically evaluate the results, discuss problems and results as well as present the results orally and in written form.

KEMC10. The aim of the course is to provide in-depth theoretical knowledge and experience of different steps in modern drug design and development. The course requires that participants possess a broad general knowledge in analytical chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry. The course discusses general pharmacological principles, such as drug effects, mechanisms of action, metabolism, use, and chemical structures. Methods, techniques, and tools for searching novel candidate drugs (drug development), computer models for prediction of pharmacological properties and structure-activity relationships are discussed, as are optimization of pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties of drug molecules. Finally, important therapeutic areas are discussed, such as drugs of the nerve system, hormone drugs, drugs affecting the heart, respiratory drugs, anaesthetics, sedative drugs, antivirals, antibiotics, and cancer drugs.

KEMM46. The course covers methodology for analysis of biological samples (blood plasma, urine, etc.) with respect to small molecules (e g drugs or metabolites) and to macromolecules (e g proteins). Both quantitative and qualitative analyses are considered. The techniques used are gas and liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, hyphenated techniques (GC-MS, LC-MS) as well as techniques utilising biological recognition (e g immunological, enzymatic or receptor based). Emphasis is put on sample handling and sample preparation. The course covers the basics of quality assurance as well as official rules significant to the field. Students having passed the course will have a good basis for work in drug industry and biomedical research.

KEMM36. The course presents basic structure of electrode interface, considers diffusion, kinetic, and thermodynamic factors controlling the rate of reactions at electrodes. With this physicochemical background a number of stationary and dynamic electrochemical methods are discussed including linear and cyclic voltammetry, potential step methods such as differential- and square-wave voltammetry, amperometric stripping, hydrodynamic voltammetry, rotating electrode technique, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Seven laborations of the course are based on active use of these electrochemical methods for the characterisation of electrodes, determination of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of electrochemical reactions, and characterisation of electrochemical processes such as electrocatalysis and bioelectrocatalysis.
