The NMR facility will be hosting a Bio-NMR Workshop on two successive Fridays next month— November 7 and 14 (see the flyer).
The workshop runs from 9:00 am to 12 noon, and is broken down into a presentation block (9 am-11 am, SI 030) and a hands-on demonstration at the 800 MHz spectrometer (11 am-12 noon, SI 037). Enrollment is limited to 12 people for each of the two sessions, first come, first served!
Students will learn about the nuts and bolts of how biological NMR works, to sample preparation hints, and will emphasize the types of experiments that can be done using this method. The sensitivity of modern NMR spectrometers has improved dramatically so that relatively dilute solutions of purified protein or protein assemblies can be studied. Furthermore, it is now possible to study large systems (up to 100 kD) using this method.
Please send an email to Hongwei if you would like to register for the workshop. Include your name and PI. There is no registration fee and extensive prior knowledge of NMR spectroscopy will not be assumed.
