The course is for advanced students and covers selected topics from magnetic resonance spectroscopy. This semester, the lecture will introduce and discuss the dynamics of electron-nuclear spin systems and experiments based on hyperfine interactions in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) for sensitivity enhancement in NMR.

The course is for advanced students and covers selected topics from magnetic resonance spectroscopy. It is concerned with inference of structure and dynamics of proteins and their complexes from data obtained by EPR and liquid-state NMR experiments. The special focus is on multi-state and ensemble modelling.

Introduction to statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. Prediction of thermodynamic and kinetic properties from molecular data.

The course provides an overview of experimental methods for studying function and structure of macromolecules at atomic resolution in solution. The two main methods used are Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy.

Seminar series covering current developments in Physical Chemistry

thermal radiation and Planck's law; transition probabilities, rate equations;atomic structure and spectraelectronic, vibrational, and rotational spectroscopy of moleculessymmetry, group theory, and selection rules

Establishing a link between known phenomena, concepts and spectroscopic techniques in polymer physics on the one hand and the study of unstructured biological macromolecules on the other. Attention is paid to the relationship between molecular interactions in biopolymers and their tendency to form molecular condensates, such as membraneless organelles.

Introduction of the basics of signal processing in spectroscopy. Fourier transformation, linear response theory, stochastic signals, digital data processing, Fourier spectroscopy.

Laboratory experiments to acquire a profound knowledge of spectroscopical methods and techniques in chemistry. Evaluation and visualization of measurement data. Writing lab reports.
