Description: LAB MODULE IN NMR SPECTROSCOPY & MOLECULAR MODELING The students will learn to set up, acquire, and process one-dimensional and basic two-dimensional NMR experiments. Spectral interpretation (resonance assignment and extraction of structural information) for nucleic acids and proteins using homonuclear and heteronuclear data will be performed. Molecular modeling using NMR derived structure information will also be included. This course is designed to provide an overview of the utility of NMR spectroscopy as it relates to the structure and dynamics of biologically relevant macromolecules. Enrollment limited to 12, with priority to graduate students.
