Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Core
The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Core carries out studies on a diverse array of biologically relevant systems in order to obtain detailed structural information. Analysis of such systems under physiological solution conditions can generate three-dimensional structure data and molecular flexibility/rigidity information and allows the detailed investigation of exactly how biomolecules carry out their designated function. Additionally, appropriate interactions between such molecules can be conveniently studied.
The NMR Core can be used to assist in the work of research groups of the Wadsworth Center. These studies proceed as collaborative arrangements with staff members of the NMR group.
Initial questions concerning the feasibility of projects for NMR study should be directed to the facility's Director. It is anticipated that many appropriate projects will develop into work fundable by external agencies. Complete involvement at all stages of investigation by collaborators is encouraged under the supervision on NMR group members.
The NMR Core has two NMR instruments, Bruker 500 and 600 MHz.
Equipment available
- Bruker 500 and 600 MHZ DRX spectrometers
- Silicon Graphics workstations
