Lecturer

Christian Damblon

Language(s) of instruction

French language

Organisation and examination

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Schedule

Schedule online

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

The course is a practical application of NMR techniques studied in the course on Biological chemistry (CHIM0729)
After a lesson summarizing the theoretical principles and practicalities of different NMR experiments, students will be asked to record themselves their own experiences protein in solution interacting with ligands.
The proposed experiments are the following 1D 1H with water suppression, 2D HSQC (HN).

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Objective 1: Acquiring the ability to record adequately all NMR experiments required for the analysis of biological macromolecule in water Objective 2: To understand the spectral information obtained by applying a sequence of pulses. Objective 3: to choose experiences tailored to their research.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Course on structural analysis: CHIM-9291 Course on biological Chemistry CHIM-0729

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Practical work on the NMR spectrometer. Preparation of the biological samples. Analysis of the spectra with appropriate computer programs : TOPSPIN

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

The course schedule will be determined with the students according to the availabilities of each and the availability of the spectrometer.
