Lectures - in Czech

This lecture is a loose continuation of MC250O09A (Metody biochemie) and the students are requested to make themselves familiar with that lecture.

Requirements to the exam -
Last update: doc. RNDr. Miroslav Šulc, Ph.D. (09.10.2023)

There are two possibilities: oral or written exam. The oral examination from two questions, the questions are based on the syllabus (one "synthetic", approx. covering one lecture session. the second more "detailed" - covering one particular method, technical conditions, or application range).

NOTICE: this subject is related to previous subject Metody biochemie MC250P09A, and the competen knowledge of explained methods, principes of techniques an applications are supposed in the subject Metody studia biomolekul - MC250P09B.
