Department website: https://chemistry.jhu.edu/

The Department of Chemistry, in conjunction with other departments of the university, offers a broad education and the opportunity to do research in chemistry and related fields. The great diversity of the field of chemistry, ranging between physics and biology, is reflected in the research interests of the faculty. Undergraduate chemistry majors usually go on to graduate study in chemistry, chemical engineering, biology, oceanography, geochemistry, biophysics, environmental sciences, or medicine, while others enter the chemical industry. The Ph.D. in chemistry leads to professional careers in colleges and universities, research institutes, industry, and government laboratories.

Facilities

The department is well-equipped with instrumentation, both shared and in individual faculty research laboratories, to perform modern chemical research. The Departmental Instrumentation Facility houses the following pieces of major instrumentation:

  • Bruker Avance 400 MHz FT-NMR spectrometers (2), one located in the Instrumentation Facility in Remsen Hall and the other on the first floor of the new chemistry building.
  • Bruker Avance 300 MHz FT-NMR spectrometer.
  • Bruker Avance III 400 MHz FT-NMR spectrometer and Fourier 300 FT-NMR spectrometer with an automatic sample changer are located in the undergraduate teaching laboratory.
  • VG70S magnetic sector mass spectrometer, with EI, and CI ionization.
  • VG70SE magnetic sector mass spectrometer, with FAB ionization.

NMR spectrometers suitable for studies of biological macromolecules are located in the Biomolecular NMR Center, located in an underground facility in front of the new chemistry building. The instruments include two 600, and an 800 MHz FT-NMR spectrometers.

A variety of different mass spectral techniques are available in the expanding Mass Spectrometry Facility. High-resolution mass spectra of submitted samples are obtained on a service basis by a staff member using two magnetic sector instruments equipped with EI, CI, and FAB ionization methods. MALDI-TOF, GC/MS, and electrospray instruments are also available and operated by students and researchers following training by the facility staff.

The X-ray Diffractometer Facility is operated by a staff member. The instruments are suitable for detailed molecular-level structural characterization of new organic or inorganic compounds.

The department shares with the Physics and Astronomy Department the use of the Physical Sciences Machine Shop, located in the Bloomberg Center. Electronics construction and repair is handled by a staff member in the Departmental Instrumentation Facility.

Undergraduate Program

Programs for undergraduate majors can be tailored to individual interests so that a major in chemistry is excellent preparation not only for further work in chemistry, but also for any field that rests on a chemical foundation. It is a good choice for a premedical student interested in medical research.

AS.250.310.  Exploring Protein Biophysics using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy.  3 Credits.  

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.
