Principle of spectroscopy and applications to quantitative biology
A.A. 2020/2021
Obiettivi formativi
The primary objective of this course is to introduce the basic concepts, principles, and techniques of modern analytical chemistry that would provide students with an analytical mind shape and abilities to solve diverse analytical problems, involved in the biotechnologies, in an efficient, quantitative and qualitative way. One of the aim is to provide to the students adequate preparation in order to identify the different components of the biological system and to convey the importance of accuracy and precision of the analytical results.
Risultati apprendimento attesi
On successful completion of this course, students will be able:
1) to understand the different analytical methods for molecular and supramolecular analysis.
2) to establish an appreciation of the role of chemistry and molecular spectroscopy in quantitative analysis, in measurement and problem solving for analytical tasks.
Moreover students will be able to select molecular probes and to design experiments in order to understand the mechanism of cellular uptake, or to better visualize the different components of biological system.
Through the experimental part of the course, the students will be trained to correctly interpret and to communicate the experimental results.

Prerequisiti
Knowledge of the fundamentals of chemistry, organic chemistry, physics and biochemistry.
Metodi didattici
The course is divided into classroom lectures, in which the topics are illustrated both with slides and by carrying out exercises on the blackboard. At the end of the course, an educational experimental laboratory is organized in which the students, organized in small groups, carry out four different experiences concerning both traditional and instrumental quantitative analysis.

Modalità di verifica dell’apprendimento e criteri di valutazione
The knowledge of the topics reported in the course's program will be evaluated by means of a three hours-written test, which is aimed at verifying the knowledge of the topics. In this test the student is asked to solve three exercises concerning the interpretation of data collected from instrumental analysis of biopharmaceutical molecules and to answer two or three theory questions concerning analytical approaches for the characterization of biomolecules.
Note that unanswered questions will be counted as wrong answers. Examples of problems and questions and their evaluation will be provided during the course.
