I give a number of lecture courses at the Irchel campus:
Advanced Spectroscopy (CHE 442)
Part A covers theory and application of modern mass spectrometry. This part is taught by PD Laurent Bigler.
Part B comprises a general NMR course featuring all basics of NMR such as shift, couplings, relaxation and product operator formalism. The course is intended to give a in-depth introduction into the basics of NMR. Additional material covering topics such as vectors and tensors is provided.
Part C is basically a spectra interpretation course. This part provides training for identifying compounds (especially natural products) using 2D NMR experiments. All classes of natural compounds are extensively covered with shift and coupling information. In addition, the best strategy to identify each class ofcompouns and the optimal choice of experiments to achieve that goal is described. The experiments are described briefly. This part is accompanied by handouts of spectra.
You can find the scripts for the course here
Medicinal Chemistry (CHE 728)
A 4hour/week introduction into medicinal chemistry. The course is intended for chemists and biochemists to provide basic knowledge of medicinal chemistry that is not covered otherwise in the curriculum. Topics include pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamics, drug design, structural biology of drug receptors, antibacterial, antiviral and anticancer and anti-inflammatory drugs. In addtion Prof. Baldridge teaches computational aspects and Dr. Daniel Obrecht combinatorial chemsitry and other synthetic aspects.
You will find the material for the cours on this web page
Protein Biophysics (BCH 304)
A 4 hour/week course on all aspects of protein biophysics. The course includes a general introduction into protein structure and biophysics as well as into the usage of molecular dyanmics simulations and other computational methods taught by Amedeo Caflisch, protein structure and X-ray techniques by Peer MIttl, protein NMR for determining protein structure and dynamics as well as for folding studies by myself and protein thermodynamics from Illian Jelezarov.
the slides for the structure/dynamics/folding section is here!
Biochemical and Biophysical Methods (BCH306)
A block course to provide hands-on training in biophysical methods such as X-ray, statistical data handling, CD and fluorescence spectroscopy, NMR etc. In my part I teach CD and NMR. CD spectra are recorded and interpreted. In addition the backbone of a protein is assigned based on 3D NMR data.
here are the slides from the CD part
Hands-on training for the usage of spectrometers
From time-to-time (usually once a year) together with Simon Jurt and Nadja Bross we teach a practical training course for measuring NMR spectra. Here are the notes for the practical NMR course (may 2009) as pdf files in color or as a printer-friendly version.
