  • CHEM 6170: Advanced Topics in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

    4.00 Credits
    Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

    Advanced graduate course covering fundamental aspects of NMR common for application in a broad range of fields. Classical and quantum-mechanical descriptions are utilized to explore information content of NMR pulse sequences. The latter approach includes density matrix theory and proceeds with the product-operator formalism. Practical aspects and data analysis are also described. Subsequent focus is on liquid-state NMR of biological macromolecules, including resonance assignment and determination of molecular structure and dynamics. (Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and BCBP 6170.) Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: CHEM 4410 or equivalent. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 4

  • CHEM 6300: Medicinal Chemistry

    3.00 Credits
    Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

    The organic chemistry of drug discovery and synthesis will be the focus of this course. Starting with the basic concepts of molecular-targeted drug discovery, the process of lead identification will be explored with special emphasis on drug screening and combinatorial chemistry. The roles of computational chemistry, molecular modeling, and biophysical methods in the understanding of the relationship between structure and biological activity will be studied. The chirality of drugs from both the biological and synthetic perspectives will also be explored. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: CHEM 6210 or permission of instructor. Credit Hours: 3
