Polymers: random coils and beyond
This advanced training module addressed doctoral students in chemistry, physics, biophysics, and related fields without much prior knowledge or experience in mass spectrometry. It introduced the basic theoretical and technical concepts of mass spectrometry and provided hands-on experiments in the labs.
This module addressed doctoral students in chemistry, physics, biophysics, and related fields without much prior knowledge in NMR spectroscopy. It introduced the basic theoretical and technical concepts necessary for an understanding of data/spectrum acquisition in pulsed NMR and the information content, and focused on a few specific experimental techniques to study dynamics in polymer and biopolymer systems.

Day 1:
• Lecture (approx. 90 mins): Introduction to mass spectrometry, protein identification, structural MS (basics of native MS)
• Wet lab: Sample preparation for native MS, preparing electrospray emitters for native MS, acquisition of native mass spectra (proteins and protein complexes)
Day 2:
• Lecture (approx. 90 mins): Advanced native MS experiments, data analysis, examples from literature
• Wet lab: Acquisition of native mass spectra (protein-ligand complexes), data analysis
Te scientific module is organized by RTG BEAM. Registration is closed.

After some motivation and first examples, we looked at groups systematically and explored the mathematical language to study them. There were exercises to work on and we discussed the solutions (even if incomplete). One of the goals was to understand the symmetry of regular n-gons and to really get in touch with mathematical reasoning. And we discussed where symmetry might play a role in participants’ work!
