- Course objectives
- The course will provide introduction to modern NMR techniques which can be applied to extract structural information for small and mid-size biological macromolecules - peptides, proteins, DNA and RNA oligonucleotides. Experimental procedures and computational protocols for determination of three-dimensional structures and dynamics based on NMR data will be discussed.
