Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Facility

The NMR facility is used to examine oligonucleotide, nucleic acid, peptide, and protein structure and folding. Many of these studies involve structures and biochemical mechanisms of cancer and anticancer therapies (including natural and synthesized products), as well as environmental toxins.

The facility houses four high-resolution NMR spectrometers:

  • Two 3 channel Varian Unity+ 500's with Indirect and Direct detection probes.

  • A state-of-the-art multinuclear, 3 channel, waveform generator, PFG, automated Z-axis gradient shimming Varian INOVA 600 system with Broadband Inverse Detection capabilities. A Cold Probe is scheduled for delivery, March,  2007.

  • A Bruker AC250.

Jim Loo of the Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry manages the facility. Click here for the NMR home page.
