Course objectives
The course intends to supply the basic information necessary to apply the methods of vibrational spectroscopy in research of biologicaly important molecules. The main focus within the course will concern the Raman spectroscopy, although infrared spectroscopy and supplementery techniques will be covered in part too.
Learning outcomes
After passing the course students should be able to
- select experimental procedure suitable for vibrational characterization of the selected bilogical sample
- analyze the obtained spectra
Syllabus
  • Vibrational spectroscopy: infrared (IR) and Raman (RS).
  • Molecular vibrations and their analyzis.
  • Raman techniques: resoant Raman scattering (RRS), surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), tip enhanced Raman scattering (TERS), vibrational circular diochrois (VCD), Raman optickal activity (ROA), droplet coating deposition Raman spectroscopy (DCDR)
  • Auxiliary techniques: refractometry, attenuated total reflection in the infrared (ATR), ellipsometry (TIRE), scanning probe microscopy (AFM, STM), Langmuir-Blodget films (LB)
  • Applications: sugars, oligopeptides, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids.
  • Kinetic studies.
  • Instrumentation of vibrational spectroscopies.
