Learning outcomes
This subjected is for students of the doctoral study program Organic and bioorganic chemistry.The subject aims at transferring knowledge on the following topics: 1. Enzyme models and mimics 2. Functionalized cyclodextrines as enzyme catalysts 3. Synthetic polymers and dendrimers as a part of artificial enzymes 4. Natural polypeptides functionalization 5. Metalocomplexes as catalysts 6. Aminotransferases, decarboxylases and hydrolases mimics 7. Directed halogenations 8. Hydroxylations as mimics of cytochrome P450 reactions 9. Antibodies as artificial enzymes 10. Carbon-based, metal-based and metal oxide-based nanozymes
A successful completion will verify and confirm knowledge of the discipline acquired during studies.
Prerequisites
The prerequisite is the knowledge of biochemistry and organic chemistry at the level of fundamental lectures.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral exam

The candidate is expected to conduct scientific discussion in a broader context of the whole discipline.
