Organisation and examination
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course presents various techniques used in Structural Biological Chemistry . The various techniques discussed in the course are: Solution NMR, Mass Spectrometry, X-ray crystallography, Infrared Spectroscopy, Cryo-electro-microscopy, molecular modeling. Theoretical aspects are explained on basis of practical results found in the literature
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course students will be able to understand the use of technology in structural biology and to identify methods to answer specific questions related to structural biology.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Basic biology and biochemistry. Knowledge of the structure and properties of biological macromolecules. Structural analysis. The basics of spectroscopy.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
lectures
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
face to face
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
The course and the practical work sessions will be given by videoconference. Classes will be recorded and provided to students.
The exam will be oral by videoconference. The exam will consist of the evaluation of the comprehension of research articles involving the techniques seen in the courses.
Recommended or required readings
Powerpoint presentation will be made available after the lecture
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Written exam on the theory.
oral presentation of a bibliograophic research.
