The course aims at providing an integrated overview on Enzyme Technology and the applications at industrial, analytical and healthcare levels. The basic concepts of enzymology and biocatalysts will be discussed  with a particular emphasis on the activity and stability of the biocatalyst. The students should acquire knowledge to understand the processes of selection, production and purification of a biocatalyst as well as its application and modelling in bioreactors, namely through immobilization techniques.
