SynopsisThis unit focuses on the study of living cells and biological moleculeswith a emphasis on their applications in chemical and pharmaceuticalindustries. Topics to be covered include cell biology and structure,fundamental biochemistry of proteins and enzymes, metabolicpathways and biosynthesis of metabolites, molecular biology includingcentral dogma, genetic code, protein synthesis and practical examplesof indstrial appliations.
OutcomesUpon completing this unit, students are expected to:
1. have sufficient knowledge to relate the importance of biochemistry inindustry
2. understand the role of basic cell components, the physical andbiochemical properties of proteins especially in their roles asenzymes
3. understand the major metabolic pathway and the biosynthesis ofeconomic importance of primary and secondary metabolites
4. understand the principles of storage and transmission of geneticinformation; the control mechanisms which operate at the level ofgene expression; and their applications in industry

The Monash University Handbook provides information on the courses and units offered to students at Monash during the current academic year. It is primarily a tool to assist students who have commenced,or are about to commence, their studies to plan each stage of enrolment in their chosen course, so that they can undertake the required program of study. In particular, the Handbook includes the overallrequirements that students who commence a course in the current academic year must normally satisfy before they are eligible to be awarded that qualification. Students who commenced their studies in theirenrolled course prior to the current academic year should consult the archived Handbook for the year in which they commenced their studies. All handbooks are available online atwww.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks, including notifications of updates via the handbook change register.

SynopsisThis unit explores how scalable, commercially viable process-unitoperations are harnessed by the biotechnology industry for theproduction of valuable biomolecules (eg recombinant proteins, peptides,vaccines, enzymes, and nucleic acids). The design, operation andeconomic issues surrounding large-scale biomolecular processequipment including bioreactors, filtration systems, chromatographiccolumns, sterilisation and aseptic operation, auxiliary equipment andthe associated control systems will be considered. The widerbiotechnology environment will be considered especially with regards toGxP, national and international regulatory bodies, biosafety andcommercialisation.
OutcomesAt the completion of the unit students will: have an understanding ofbiological systems and molecules and how these are harnessed inbiotechnology; have an understanding of how scalable, commerciallyviable process-unit operations are employed in bioprocessing for theproduction of biotechnology products; understand the design, operationand economic issues surrounding large-scale biomolecular processequipment including fermenters/bioreactors, filtration systems,chromatography, aseptic operation, auxiliary equipment and the controlsystems; be able to read, understand, critically evaluate and develop
process flow diagrams; have an understanding of the wider influenceson the biotechnology industry: regulatory compliance, ethics andsocietal expectations; have had direct exposure to the industry throughtalks from industry representatives and site visits.
AssessmentAssignments: 50%Examination (3 hours): 50%Students are required to achieve at least 45% in the total continuousassessment component (assignments, tests, mid-semester exams,laboratory reports) and at least 45% in the final examination componentand an overall mark of 50% to achieve a pass grade in the unit.Students failing to achieve this requirement will be given a maximum of45% in the unit.
