CHEM 643 - Molecular Spectroscopy and Biopolymers

[3]
Team-taught course covering theory and applications of advanced spectroscopic techniques used to study the structure and function of bio-macro-molecules (polysaccharides, DNA, co-enzymes and co-factors). Aspects of modem Fourier transform NMR, including one- and two-dimensional methods (COSY, NOESY and HOHAHA) will be presented. Principles of mass spectrometry and examples of the potential, limitations and applications of electron impact; desorption ionization, high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry; and interfaced chromatography/mass spectrometry will be discussed. Theory and applications of other spectroscopic techniques, including molecular vibrational (Raman, resonance Raman and infrared), electron spin resonance (ESR) and laser fluorescence spectroscopies also will be presented.
Prerequisite: Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
