| Course outline:
- Introduction - Kinetics and Catalysis - Types of catalysts and catalysis - Enzymology - After a discussion on the kinetics, catalysis and enzymology, the students will present the group project they will complete. - Distance and face-to-face interactions between students and supervisors will prepare the work the students will carry out in the laboratory. - The students will conduct a laboratory study of some parameters related to a bio- catalyzed or catalyzed reaction. - After the labs, the students will write a critical report in English on the reaction they worked on. - They will present a seminar in English to the class. |

|||||
| At the end of the course, the students will be able to:
- To master the basic concepts of chemical kinetics and catalysis including enzymology - To collect and synthesize the literature related to a specific topic of catalysis - To set up protocols in order to study key parameters of a (bio) - catalyzed reaction - To write a critical report in English considering different points of view on the studied (bio) - synthesis - To present orally a summary of their work in English |
