NMR Large Scale Facility
Gaining fundamental insight into molecular processes
Novel research concepts are being developed and applied to complex biomolecular systems including protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid complexes or membrane proteins. Additional research is conducted on heterogeneous systems such as hydrogels, biomaterials, liposomes and cellular membranes. The research facility is part of the Bijvoet Center for Biomolecular Research at the Faculty of Science, Utrecht 木瓜福利影视.
Specifications main equipment
As a national and European large scale facility, stateof-the-art instrumentation for NMR experiments on soluble molecules or heterogeneous preparations (solid-state NMR) is available. Currently, NMR fields range from 500 MHz to 950 MHz (solution NMR) and from 400 MHz to 950 MHz (solid-state NMR). In addition, two solid-state spectrometers (400 and 800 MHz) are equipped with gyrotrons for DNP (dynamic nuclear polarisation), which provides highly increased spectral sensitivity. The NMR facility also functions as an European computational e-Infrastructure for NMR and structural biology. The computational infrastructure consists of several Linux clusters with over 1500 CPU cores. It also provides access to High Troughput Computing resources of the Dutch Life Science GRID and EGI. Further information can be obtained from the website.
Access
The Utrecht NMR facility operates as a national and European research infrastructure for solution and solid-state NMR, as well as computational structural biology. Acces is provided to local, national and international researchers from academia and industry.
