Practical Workshop - Protein Structure Determination

Overview

The Minnesota NMR Center is offering a "hands-on" NMR workshop with an emphasis on protein structure determination. Graduate students and postdoctoral associates will familiarize themselves with state-of-the-art multidimensional techniques in solution NMR spectroscopy. They will learn how to set up multidimensional NMR experiments on our spectrometers, interpret protein NMR spectra, calculate the three-dimensional structure using computational methods, and assess the quality of the structures generated. Although not necessary, a basic knowledge of NMR is preferable. Lectures will be given by professors and NMR staff at the University of Minnesota as well as guest speakers from other institutions.
