The course is a basic introductory course in Biophysics techniques used in the analysis of the structure of biomolecules (proteins, DNA, RNA) such as X-ray crystallography, scattering techniques, multidimensional NMR, molecular dynamics as well as other quantitative techniques such as calorimetry, circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy. Finally, the course aims to help students understand the applications of these techniques in the design of drugs and other bioactive molecules.

Upon successful completion of this course the student will be able to

• Have an understanding the basic features of the biophysical methods
• Is capable of knowing when to use these methodologies
• Analyze and calculate basic information
• Present the results of a relevant study
