Multidimensional NMR Spectroscopy for Structural Studies of Biomolecules

Overview

The objective of the course is to introduce methods used in NMR spectroscopy for structure determination of biomolecules and for studying protein-ligand interactions. The course will cover principles and application of two- and three-dimensional NMR experiments along with different isotope labelling schemes that are routinely used for protein structure determination.

INTENDED AUDIENCE:
M. Sc/Ph. D students, Scientists from Pharma/Biotech Companies

PREREQUISITES: 1. Mathematics at the 12th Std level,2. Basic Knowledge of Proteins/Nucleic Acids,3. A basic knowledge of NMR would be useful,though not necessary
