This course will survey the structural and physical properties of chemicals often considered as part of the “finer things in life” including topical discussions of the chemistries of food, drink, art, cosmetics and clothing, among others. Despite the pretentious name, the general theme of the course is to put chemical identities onto the things we interact with on a daily basis but most likely take for granted at a molecular level. Current event topics in consumer chemistry will also be covered as they arise. Students will have the chance to research topics of interest. The course material will be enriched by the contributions from special guest lecturers and occasional field trips.

Theoretical Foundations of Computational Chemistry AS.030.408 (01)
The course allows students to become familiar with the essential concepts for modeling the structure and properties of matter at nanoscales, as well as the way that they relate with the corresponding experimental determinations. Concepts on modeling, computer representation of nanosystems, origin of interactions between bodies at nanoscales and the different ways of finding the potential energy surfaces, including both classical and quantum mechanical procedures are described and even detailed when relevant. Recent approaches and procedures as those based in Artificial Intelligence are outlined in the framework of the theoretical grounds of this kind of modeling. Applications can mostly be to life and material sciences, spectroscopy, as well as other fields. It is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Pharmacy and Biochemistry, as well as physicians and engineers. Attendants must handle an essential ground in Mathematics, general Physics, Chemistry and related matters. Test calculations will be performed for selected methods during lab times, normally at the student’s laptops.

Introduction to Computational Chemistry AS.030.405 (01)
This course provides an introduction to the state-of-the-art computational chemistry.The course integrates the basics about molecular electronic structure theories and the corresponding computational aspects and practice in chemical applications. The discussions of theories cover the modern quantum-chemical methods, ranging from mean-field methods (Hartree-Fock method and density-functional theory) to post mean-field methods for treating electron-correlation effects (configuration interaction and coupled cluster). Demonstrative calculations and computer lab practice are designed to deal with the computation of energetic properties (e.g., heat of formation,
bond dissociation energy, reaction activation energy, etc) and structural properties (geometry, vibrational frequencies, etc) of representative molecular systems using standard quantum chemistry program package (the Gaussian program, most probably). The class will conclude with a report and presentation on a piece of recent computational work pertinent to the student’s research interests.

Exploring Protein Biophysics using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy AS.250.310 (01)
NMR is a spectroscopic technique which provides unique, atomic level insights into the inner workings of biomolecules in aqueous solution and solid state. A wide variety of biophysical properties can be studied by solution state NMR, such as the three dimensional structures of biological macromolecules, their dynamical properties in solution, interactions with other molecules and their physical and chemical properties which modulate structure-function relationships (such electrostatics and redox chemistry). NMR exploits the exquisite sensitivity of magnetic properties of atomic nuclei to their local electronic (and therefore, chemical) environment. As a result, biophysical properties can be studied at atomic resolution, and the global properties of a molecule can be deconstructed in terms of detailed, atomic level information. In addition, interactions between nuclei can be exploited to enhance the information content of NMR spectra via multidimensional (2D and 3D) spectroscopy. Since these properties can be studied in solution, NMR methods serve as an effective complement to X-Ray crystallography and electron microscopy. In this course, we will learn about the basics of NMR spectroscopy, acquire 1D and 2D NMR spectra and use various NMR experiments to characterize and probe biophysical properties of proteins at an atomic level.
