Course objectives
The students will get hands-on knowledge of sofisticated experiments used in modern NMR spectroscopy with an accent on techniques for spectroscopy of proteins and nucleic acids. All important exprimental issues from sample preparation and spectrometer setup and calibration trough data aquisition and processing up to spectra evaluation will be discussed as well as practically performed in the laboratory.

Syllabus
  • 1. NMR sample, preparation and handling

    2. Spectrometer setup 3. Spectrometer calibrations 4. Building blocks of pulse sequences 5. Programming of pulse sequences 6. Water suppression techniques 7. Homonuclear 2D experiments 8. Heteronuclear double and triple resonance experiments 9. 3D experiments for proteins and nucleic acids (HNCO, HNCa, HCCH-TOCSY, HCN) 10. Data processing 11. Analysis of protein NMR spectra 12.
