Supplier department: National Centre for Biomolecular Research – Faculty of Science - Prerequisites
- Students should have basic knowledge of NMR theory, previous passing the course C5320 is an advantage but not absolutely necessary.
- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is offered to students of any study field.
- Course objectives
- The students will get hands-on experience with using NMR spectrometers with an accent on techniques for spectroscopy of proteins and nucleic acids. All important experimental issues from sample preparation and spectrometer setup and calibration trough data acquisition and processing up to spectra evaluation will be discussed as well as practically performed in the laboratory. At the end of the course, the students will be able to use independently the sophisticated NMR instrumentation for routine measurements of spectra of proteins and nucleic acids, as well as most other common samples.
- Learning outcomes
- At the end of the course, the students will be able to use independently the sophisticated NMR instrumentation for routine measurements of spectra of proteins and nucleic acids, as well as most other common samples.
