Polymers: random coils and beyond
This advanced training module addresses doctoral students in chemistry, physics, biophysics, and related fields without much prior knowledge or experience in mass spectrometry. It introduces the basic theoretical and technical concepts of mass spectrometry and will provide hands-on experiments in the labs.
This module addresses doctoral students in chemistry, physics, biophysics, and related fields without much prior knowledge in NMR spectroscopy. It introduces the basic theoretical and technical concepts necessary for an understanding of data/spectrum acquisition in pulsed NMR and the information content, and focuses on a few specific experimental techniques to study dynamics in polymer and biopolymer systems.
Continue reading “[BEAM] ATM: NMR spectroscopy for biomolecular and materials characterization (March 13-14, 2023)”Our partner graduate school is offering an ATM on surface science and STM! More information and registration:
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 look at groups systematically and explore the mathematical language to study them. There will be exercises to work on and we discuss solutions (even if incomplete). One of the goals is to understand the symmetry of regular n-gons and to really get in touch with mathematical reasoning. And of course we want to discuss where symmetry might play a role in your work!
