Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
About the course
Theoretical and practical subject. The course is available as a singular or elective course independent of study program, also to exchange students. The course is offered on the condition that a minimum number of students register for the course.
NMR has become a routine technique for chemists working in the fields of organic-, medicinal- and structural chemistry and biology, and new developments have made it possible to analyze more and more complex molecules and their interactions in biological systems. The course focuses on developing both theoretical and practical skills in using NMR as a tool for structure determination and elucidation as well as the characterization of biological macromolecules. In addition to recording and analyzing routine one-dimensional spectra of different nuclei, more advanced two- and three-dimensional techniques will be examined and applied in solving problems related to structure and dynamics.
