NMR Studies at the Forefront of Biology and Materials Science

Materials science, biological chemistry, and the interface between biology/materials are leading technological breakthroughs.  NMR spectroscopy is able to provide valuable information about molecular structure and dynamics.

Advances in disease treatment often arise from knowledge of molecular structure and the interactions of biomolecules with ligands and pharmaceuticals.  These studies require atomic-level information, for which the most powerful tools are X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy.  Despite the wealth of data from X-ray and solution-NMR experiments, structural information for many important biological systems remains elusive, but can be obtained with modern, advanced NMR techniques.

The projects underway combine many different fields, such as biochemistry, surface science, materials engineering, and NMR spectroscopy.  They represent a multidisciplinary approach to problem solving that fosters a very productive research environment.
