NMR Spectroscopy and Molecular Modelling (B-KUL-K05D5A)

3.0 ECTS English 13.0 Second termSecond term Basic
POC Farmaceutische Wetenschappen

This series of lecture is offerred as introduction to the possibilities and shortcommings of NMR spectroscopy and molecular modelling.
The goals are:
Interpratation of simple NMR-spectra and judge NMR methods used in publications that contain NMR structure determination
Search and retrieve a structure from the PDB-database
Recognize structural elements in a three dimensional structure and interactions between molecules in a complex Obtain basic knowledge on how computer programs can use experimental data to calculate a molecular model with applications in drug design.

Basic knowledge in organic chemistry an biochemistry is required. Student should have a notion on general physics, electromagnetism and mathematics.
