Enzyme and Protein Chemistry (EPC) is an international group where interchange of competences and experience provides a fertile basis for research and education. The expertise of the group members range from protein biochemistry, carbohydrate biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology and plant biochemistry.
The main activities of EPC are related to food and raw materials for food, but the methods and main strategies are relevant in relation to various biotechnological issues. The aim is to explain the molecular mechanisms and interactions relevant for functionality and quality of foodstuffs and raw materials and to identify the biochemical mechanisms connected to health promoting and nutrition related effects of food.
EPC houses a core facility for amino acid analysis and protein sequencing offering analyses on a commercial basis for DTU, other universities and industry.
