Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of the course, the student will be able to understand the different spectroscopic techniques allowing the structural and functional characterization of biological molecules.
 

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

The course will deal with the different spectroscopic techniques allowing the structural and functional characterization of organic molecules, with a particular emphasis on biological molecules. The treated techniques will be : UV-Visible spectroscopy (as well as fluorescence and phosphorescence), Infra-Red spectroscopy (and Raman spectroscopy), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1D and 2D), and mass spectrometry.
 

Prior Experience

Good knowledge of the structural and functional properties of the biological molecules.
