The genetic code
Residue-specific incorporation of non-canonical amino acids into target proteins
Site-specific incorporation of non-canonical amino acids into target proteins
Bioorthogonal chemistry with non-canonical amino acids
Scientific presentation

Previous knowledge expected

Protein biochemistry (master level)

Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)

Upon completion of this course, you will have acquired, digested and applied basic knowledge about protein engineering with non-canonical amino acids. You will be able to discriminate the different methods for the incorporation of non-canonical amino acids into proteins. You can apply the methods to solve real research problems. You can work on problem solving in a team and can present your solution to a target audience.
You can find more details like the schedule or information about exams on the course-page in BOKUonline.
