Syllabus

• 1. Electron microscopy Interaction of electrons with solid phase. Electro microscope (electromagnetic lenses, electron jet, vacuum system), building of the picture, creation of contrast. Diffraction on singlecrystal and polycrystal. Sample preparation etching.
  2. Roentgen diffraction Elementary crystallography symmetry of the structure, space group symmetry, diffraction of Roentgen radiation, structural factor. Basis of structural analysis data collection, data reduction, phase problem and its solution, improvement of the structural model, structure evaluation.
  3. Crystallography of proteins Macromolecular techniques of crystallization, methods of sitting and hanging drop, inoculation. Experiments of diffraction sources of rtg. irradiation, detectors, cryo-crystallography. Methods of phase problem solution in proteins. Method of molecular transfer. Methods of metal derivatives (SIR, MIR, MIRAS), MAD and selenoproteins. Maps of electron density. Building of structural model and its refinement.
  4. Fluorescence spectroscopy Fluorescence and other luminescence methods, life time, quantum yield. Fluorescence intensity. Switch-out and selfquenching. Excitation and emission spectra. Quasiline fluorescence and fluorescence in solid phase. Spectrometer and measurement procedure.
  5. Techniques of Raman spectroscopy. Elastic and non-elastic dispersion of irradiation (Stokes and anti-Stokes lines). Transition integral and induced polarization. Electronic, resonance and surface increase. Coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy. Nonlinear effects stimulated, inverse, and hyper-effect.
  6. Methods of IR spectroscopy Origin of IR bands basic and overtones, combination lines. IR materials and solvents. Sample preparation. Application in qualitative, structural, and quantitative analysis. Study of binding characteristics (bond order, bond strength). Thermodynamics in IR spectroscopy.
  7. Near-infrared spectroscopy NIR as a method without sample preparation: low sensitivity and low resolution. Mathematic methods for qualitative and quantitative analysis. Industrial analytic transfer of signal by glass fiber. Quality control at automatic production.
  8. Circular bichroism Absorption of irradiation in monomers and polymers; absorption in nucleic acids. Advantages end disadvantages of the method. Vibration circular bichroism and linear bichroism.
  9. Cyclic voltametry Voltametry with linear pulse and cyclic voltametry. Mechanism of electrode reductions. Polarography and its use for study of redox systems and surface-active materials.
  10. EPR nature of the method Electron Paramagnetic Resonance method for study of systems with non-zero electron spin. Nature of the effect, experimental method, and characteristics of EPR signals hyperfine structure.
  11. EPR in structural analysis Use of EPR in structural and analytical chemistry.
  12. Symmetry of molecules and crystals Elements and operations of symmetry (closed and open). Mathematical expression of symmetry operations by matrix calculus.

Assessment methods (in Czech)
