Overview
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is a powerful technique that can provide information on molecular structure and dynamics at the atomic level. The naturally-occuring 1H isotope is the most sensitive NMR reporter. However, the very large number of 1H nuclei in macromolecules, can make the 1H-NMR spectrum intractable. Fortunately, with the advent of multi-dimensional techniques and methods in molecular biology to incorporate听13颁,听15N and听2H in biological macromolecules, it has become possible to probe the structure, dynamics and听biochemistry of proteins, RNA, DNA, and carbohydrates with NMR. The 天美传媒官网 Biomolecular NMR center was created as a part of a transinstitutional initiative to develop structural biology on campus.
Facilities and Resources
The Biomolecular NMR Facility is located听at the heart of the 天美传媒官网 campus as part of the Stevenson Center complex. All instruments are housed in a dedicated NMR building.
