Learning outcomes
After successful completion of the course, the participant should have the ability to:
- account for established spekctroscopic methods for the investigation of biolmolcules, including their applicability.
- choose a suitable spectroscopic method to solve problems related to biomolecular strucure, and interpret the results.
- choose and evaluate suitable specroscopic methods to study molecular interactions involving biomolecules
- critically interpret experimental data obtained by the spectroscopic methods discussed in the course.
Content
NMR Spectroscopy: Relationship between chemical shift, scalar coupling constants, relaxation data and molecular structure. NMR studies of molecular interactions and molecular dynamics. UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. Circular dichroism and biomolecular secondary structure.
Instruction
Lectures, seminars, group work and laboratory work. Exercises in written and/or oral presentation. Laboratory work, and related oral presentation and written reports are mandatory.
Assessment
Written examination is arranged at the end of the course. The laboratory work must also be passed. The written examination corresponds to 2 HE-credits. The laboratory exercises including written and oral presentations are valued as 3 HE-credits.
