CHEM 560
Analysis of Dynamic Equilibrating Systems
This module has always been about practical lessons on methods for determining parameters like Kassoc, etc. The 201705 offering also included a brief (2-3 hour) overview of noncovalent interactions, because that material is no longer offered in any other graduate course or module. Please mention to Fraser if you'd like that covered in 2019.
- Major topics are:
- A. Intro to dynamic systems and weak interactions
- B. Determining stoichiometry and Kassoc by NMR
- C. Determining thermodynamic parameters by NMR
- D. Determining assembly kinetics by NMR
- E. Student presentations on various extensions of these lessons to other techniques. Topics might include:
- UV-Vis and Fluorescence,
- Stopped-flow methods,
- Line shape analysis,
- Isothermal titration calorimetry,
- Potentiometry, or
- other relevant topics that students want to bring to the class.
Please email fhof@uvic.ca if you’re interested in taking or auditing the class.
Dr. Hof will build the class list and figure out timing that works for everyone.
