Both classical and instrumental techniques are employed, including X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), laser ablation ICP-MS (LA-ICP-MS), UV-Vis spectroscopy, spectrofluorimetry, IR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, and high- and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC/UHPLC). Atomic spectrometric methods are developed for the quantitative determination of chemical composition in natural samples and advanced materials. Conformational and structural analyses are carried out on small biologically active molecules and supramolecular systems, and their interactions with biological targets (nucleic acids, proteins, ribosomes) are studied with the aim of designing new bioactive compounds. For these purposes, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques, and hyphenated liquid chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) are used. Methods are also developed for the identification and characterization of complex mixtures and real samples (food, beverages, dietary supplements, biomass, petroleum products) using hyphenated systems such as LC-SPE-NMR, 2D LC-HRMS, and ICP-MS. Samples are analyzed both in the solid state and in solution.</div> <h3 class="section-title">Research activities of academic staff</h3> <div class="people"> <div class="person"><a class="name" href="https://www.pmf.unizg.hr/chem/en/nives.galic">Nives Galić</a> <p class="desc">Solution chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, structural analysis, development of analytical methods (HPLC, MS, UV-Vis)</p> </div> <div class="person"><a class="name" href="https://www.pmf.unizg.hr/chem/en/tomislav.jednacak">Tomislav Jednačak</a> <p class="desc">Studying interactions of biological macromolecules with ligands using NMR spectroscopy; analysis of complex mixtures based on DOSY NMR spectra; identification and characterization of reaction products using the LC-SPE/cryo-NMR system</p> </div> <div class="person"><a class="name" href="https://www.pmf.unizg.hr/chem/en/iva.juranovic_cindric">Iva Juranović Cindrić</a> <p class="desc">Elemental analysis of real samples using atomic emission spectrometric methods</p> </div> <div class="person"><a class="name" href="https://www.pmf.unizg.hr/chem/en/adriana.kendjel">Adriana Kenđel</a> <p class="desc">Structural analysis of molecules by vibrational spectroscopy; investigation of binding between small organic molecules and nucleic acids using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)</p> </div> <div class="person"><a class="name" href="https://www.pmf.unizg.hr/chem/en/snezana.miljanic">Snežana Miljanić</a> <p class="desc">Infrared and Raman spectroscopy; surface-enhanced Raman scattering; studying the structure and interactions of small molecules with DNA/RNA using vibrational spectroscopy</p> </div> <div class="person"><a class="name" href="https://www.pmf.unizg.hr/chem/en/ivan.nemet">Ivan Nemet</a> <p class="desc">Development and application of atomic spectrometric methods with plasma sources; synthesis, characterization and application of neutral iron nanoparticles; elemental analysis of real samples</p> </div> <div class="person"><a class="name" href="https://www.pmf.unizg.hr/chem/en/predrag.novak">Predrag Novak</a> <p class="desc">Conformational analysis of bioactive molecules and drug design; hydrogen bonding and molecular activity; development of hyphenated analytical systems; isotope effects; process analytical methods</p> </div> <div class="person"><a class="name" href="https://www.pmf.unizg.hr/chem/en/sanda.roncevic">Sanda Rončević</a> <p class="desc">Spectrometric elemental analysis; analytical speciation</p> </div> </div> </div> </td></tr> </table> https://www.chem.pmf.hr/chem/en/about_us/divisions/division_of_analytical_chemistry/research#content___5446 https://www.chem.pmf.hr/chem/en/about_us/divisions/division_of_analytical_chemistry/research#content___5446 Obrisani Korisnik
