The department has truly outstanding instrumentation and support facilities for NMR studies of proteins and other biopolymers. A unique feature of the Biological NMR Facility is that it has instrumentation for both multidimensional solution NMR spectroscopy and high resolution solid-state NMR spectroscopy. There are a total of three spectrometers dedicated to biological NMR studies. These include Bruker Avance DMX 600 and 500 MHz spectrometers. These solution NMR spectrometers are equipped for the full suite of triple-resonance and pulsed field gradient experiments. An 89 mm wide-bore spectrometer is available for solid-state NMR studies. This spectrometer is capable of the full range of double- and triple resonance multiple pulse experiments with "magic angle sample spinning" and static sample probes available. The Department of Chemistry also has an Analytical NMR Facility. The NMR Facilities are managed by George T. Furst.
