BCH 6745C: Molecular Structure and Dynamics by NMR Spectroscopy


Course Organizer: A. Edison


Course Description: 1-2 credit, Fall  semester

This course is an introduction to modern NMR experiments and their application to biological
problems. The class will provide an understanding of multidimensional (2D, 3D, 4D) and multinuclear
(1H, 15N, 13C, .. ) NMR experiments. Emphasis will be placed on practical applications of molecular
structure and dynamics determination, and extensive use will be made of computer software
packages. In the lecture part of the course, students will learn the principles underlying NMR
experiments as well as the basic tools to mathematically describe complex NMR experiments. In the
laboratory part of the class, students will be trained to use modern NMR instrumentation, data
processing, and data analysis.  At the end of the laboratory students will have enough training tobe
users of the NMR instrumentation in the UF Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging and
Spectroscopy (AMRIS) facility.

15 hours of lectures on NMR spectroscopy
15 hour of lab/applications
