Biophysical-Chemical Concepts, 15.0 Credits
About the course
The course provides comprehensive theoretical and experimental physico-chemical insights into the driving forces behind molecular processes and interactions. Physico-chemical concepts will provide a thermodynamic characterization of complex processes and the timescales they occur in biological events and the environment. Special focus will be on molecular adsorption and partitioning processes with examples ranging from protein drug complexes, photosynthesis and green energy, to adsorption of environmental pollutants to biological and inorganic interfaces. Experimental work will include state-of-the-art molecular spectroscopy, especially Raman, IR, CD; fluorescence, ESR, NMR and mass spectroscopy. The final part of the course will introduce students to quantum-mechanical concepts as used in theoretical chemistry.
Level of Education: Advanced
Notes: This course is a basic course of the Master Programme in Chemistry. The course will be given in English if foreign students participate.
