ISTA’s NMR facility hosts latest-generation equipment for structural biology and chemistry research.
Solution-state NMR machines with cryogenically cooled probes at 600 and 800 MHz (1H Larmor frequency) provide highest sensitivity to study soluble biomolecular assemblies.
Magic-angle-spinning NMR is ideal for studying insoluble proteins, such as membrane proteins or very large assemblies. ISTA’s equipment (600, 700, 800 Hz) includes a range of probes for magic-angle spinning up to 111 kHz and 1H-detection (0.7 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.9 mm), while larger-volume probes are ideal for 13C-detected NMR applications.
Active in NMR methods development, research groups at ISTA and SSU staff push the frontiers of NMR applications for biomolecular structure and dynamics studies.
