Location
Lectures, seminars, laborative excercises and diagnostic tests take place at the Swedish NMR Centre, Medicinaregatan 5c, Göteborg

Aim
NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) is a widely used analytical method. Application areas range from material science to advanced analysis of biological macromolecules, metabolomics and imaging techniques. NMR techniques are routinely applied in organic chemistry, natural product chemistry and drug development.
The aim of the course is to provide enhanced knowledge about NMR spectroscopic techniques that are used for drug development and the identification of drug-like substances, for assessment of purity and for the analyses of their interaction with proteins. The course will also provide an insight into NMR theory and more general applications of NMR methodology.

Literature
High-Resolution NMR Techniques in Organic Chemistry, 3rd edition, T. W.D. Claridge, Elsevier.
Articles/chapters/ tasks/handouts distributed during the course by the lecturers.
Information on CANVAS:
- schedule, tasks, specific info
- slides/handouts from lectures
- practicals
- problems for solving
- hand-in practical reports and other assignments

Examination 
- Seminars (participate, present and discuss explanatory task, pass or fail; a written report is required on fail)
- The summary result on four  diagnostics tests (dugga) (pass ≥50% or fail <50%)
- Approved oral exam /written report on laborative exercises (practicals) – (pass or fail)

Final mark for the course
The final mark will be based on sum of the four diagnostic tests (VG ≥ 75%, 50% < G < 75%, U< 50%)

Student exam services is at Natrium, room 2101 and has the following opening hours:

•  Tuesdays and Thursdays 12:30-15:00

Students with a NAIS statement should contact the study councelor in the beginning of the course in order to receive the support that is recommended in the statement.
