Biomolecular NMR Laboratory
TEXAS A &M UNIVERSITY
|
The Biomolecular NMR Laboratory is located in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics. It is the fruition of the efforts of researchers not only from this department, but also from the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Genetics and from the Department of Chemistry. It is thus multidisciplinary, but with a common focus on problems of biological importance. Its’ raison d’ être is to provide a state of the art facility to pursue these studies; to explore new techniques and areas of application; and to educate new generations of researchers. NMR is of course a powerful method for the study of Structural Biology, and the facility is deeply involved in such studies of proteins, peptides, peptidomimetics, and nucleic acids, and of their complexes with one another or with other ligands. These structural studies are complemented by research not only into the dynamics of these systems, but also of the folding of these macromolecules and of the factors that are important for their stability. |
