Introduction to Industrial Bioprocess Development
Bioprocesses make use of microorganisms, animal cells, or enzymes to manufacture new products or complete a chemical transformation. Since ancient days, humans have been using microorganisms to transform biological materials for the production of alcoholic beverages and other fermented foods. Since then, bioprocesses have been developed for an enormous range of commercial products, from relatively cheap products such as organic solvents and industrial alcohol, to expensive specialty chemicals such as therapeutic proteins, antibiotics, and vaccines.

Classical papers in molecular genetics
You have all heard about the DNA double helix and genes. Many of you know that mutations occur randomly, that the DNA sequence is read by successive groups of three bases (the codons), that many genes encode enzymes, and that gene expression can be regulated. These concepts were proposed on the basis of astute genetic experiments, as well as often on biochemical results.

结构生物化学(Structural Biochemistry)
生物化学是当今生命科学领域中发展最为迅速、涉及面最广的基础学科之一,其着眼点在于使用化学、物理学和生物学等方法去研究各类生物分子的结构与功能,在分子水平上阐明生命的本质、原理和规律。如今,生物化学的理论和实验技术已渗透到生命科学的方方面面,它的发展一次又一次地带动了整个生命科学的发展。 生物化学可分为结构生物化学、代谢生物化学和分子生物学三个部分。本课程为第一部分,即结构生物化学,以后还会推出代谢生物化学和分子生物学课程。 结构生物化学的内容可以说是生物化学最基础的部分,有人把这一部分的内容说成是“静态生化”。其主要内容是各种生物分子(氨基酸、核苷酸、蛋白质、核酸、酶、碳水化合物、脂类和激素等)的结构、性质与功能,特别是三类生物大分子——蛋白质、核酸和酶的结构、性质与功能。 学完这一部分,将会为你学好生物化学的另外两个部分,即代谢生物化学和分子生物学打下坚实的基础,也为你学好细胞生物学、遗传学等其他生命科学相关课程创造条件。
