| Goals | The aim of this lecture is to get detailed knowledge about the spectroscopic techniques used in biology and medicine and to understand the biological applications of these techniques. |
| Course Content | The basic concepts and principles of spectroscopy, Ultraviole and visible spectroscopy and biological applications, Infrared spectroscopy and biological applications, Raman spectroscopy and biological applications, Fluorescence spectroscopy and biological applications, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and biological applications, Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectroscopy and biological applications, X-Ray crystallograpghy and biological applications, Circular dichroism, atomic absorbtion spectroscopy and biological applications, Mass spectroscopy and biological applications, Differantial scanning calorimetry and biological applications |
| Learning Outcomes |
- To understand fundemantals of spectroscopy. - To understand the spectroscopic techniques used in medicine and biology (uv, infrared, raman, NMR etc.). - To select and explain an accurate spectroscopic technique in a sciectific case. - To make students follow current developments in this field of research by reading/discussing new research papers and to evaluate. 5. To be able to share information about spectroscopic techniques by oral and written language. |
