Course objectives
The course aims at providing the students with the fundamentals of molecular recognition, of the interactions responsible for the formation of supramolecular systems and on the role of metals in biological systems and medicine. The students will be introduced to the principal classes of supramolecular systems (organic / inorganic) of biological interest together with the main techniques currently used for their characterization.

Results of learning outcomes
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
- Knowledge of the nature of non-covalent interactions at the basis of the formation of supramolecular compounds which are held together by intermolecular bonds.
- Knowledge of the basic coordination chemistry and of the interdisciplinary approach to study the peculiar role of metals in biology and their interaction with organic and biological molecules.
- Knowledge of the characteristics of the main classes of supramolecular systems (Host-guest, self-assembled, coordination complexes)
-Basic knowledge of different spectroscopic techniques used to study supramolecular systems and their intermolecular interactions.
APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
Acquisition of the ability to analyze scientific papers and data about the preparation, characterization and application of supramolecular and bioinorganic systems in biomedicine.
Capability to apply the theoretical knowledge of chemistry, biology, radiology and pharmaceutical sciences to the design of innovative supramolecular systems.
MAKING JUDGEMENTS
Acquisition of aware judgment autonomy concerning evaluation and interpretation of experimental data in order to achieve strategic choices in unknown situations.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Acquisition of oral and written communication skills and expertise, in English, as well as the ability to use technical and formal languages.
LEARNING SKILLS.
Acquisition of autonomous learning capacity and self-assessment of preparation
SOFT SKILLS.This course will contribute to the acquisition of several soft skills as team-working, organization, collaboration, creativity, communication, time management, public speaking.

Program
1) Principles of the molecular recognition (Hydrogen-bond and the weak intermolecular interactions, the coordinative bond; chelating effect)
2) Organic and Inorganic supramolecular systems: Host-guest systems; Self-assembling systems (Micelles and Lipid belayers); and their biomedical applications;
3) Basic coordination chemistry for biotechnologists.
4) Biological ligands for metal ions.
5) Overview on spectroscopic methods to study supramolecular systems with a focus on NMR
6) The determination of the thermodynamic stability constant of host/guest supramolecular adducts

Course delivery
The course will be delivered under the form of frontal lessons (20 hours). The last 4 hours of the course will be dedicated to flipped classroom activity where the students will be asked to present a selected paper describing a given supramolecular system.
- Oggetto:
Learning assessment methods
The assessment of learning outcomes will be carried out through a written examination (90 min) with five open questions on the main subjects of the course.
The final evaluation mark will be calculated based on the evaluation of the oral exposure of the selected paper (30% weight) and on the written examination (70% weight).
