Jena Alliance Life in Focus course: Computer modelling of metabolism
Prof. Stefan Schuster and colleagues
Ernst-Abbe-Platz 2
Time: Mon, Tue and Fr 9 – 14, Wed and Thu 12-17
Theme of the workshop:
The workshop deals with mathematical modelling and computer simulation of metabolic networks. It includes both lectures and hands-on exercises on computer.
Topics:
- Enzyme kinetics
- Balance equations
- Network analysis (Conservation relations, elementary modes)
- Dynamic simulation of metabolic networks
- Metabolic Control analysis
- Modelling of enzyme cascades
- Numerous biochemical examples from human, plant and bacterial metabolisms for illustration
Location: Ernst-Abbe-Platz 2, 4th floor, Windows Pool 1 or 2
The number of participants will be limited to 25 in order to assure a workshop environment conducive to “hand to hand” exercises. Students only need a basic background in biochemistry and mathematics (linear algebra, matrices, differential calculus).
