Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is an indispensable tool for all organic chemists. This course will introduce the theory of NMR spectroscopy with concurrent experiments that illustrate these concepts firsthand, so that the subject matter is easier to absorb. Applications of NMR in biochemistry will also be discussed, with a guided, hands-on project that exemplifies how NMR is utilized to study large macromolecules (such as proteins and nucleic acids), which will provide valuable practical experience to students. Material covered in this class will prepare you well for graduate studies, or a chemistry/biochemistry-related career in industry.
