Course Content
The first part of the course is devoted to the fundamentals of spectroscopy, including interpretation and applications of molecular spectroscopy to biochemical systems. Concepts and principles of electronic absorption and emission, circular dichroism, vibrational spectroscopy (IR, FTIR, Raman and resonance Raman) are given. The second part is devoted to thermodynamics. The main topics include statistical thermodynamics, chemical equilibria, change of state, kinetic theory and chemical kinetics.
