Biomolecular NMR Facility

The mission of the Mary L. Vanier Biomolecular NMR Core Facility is to assist K-State life science researchers to (1) identify domains of biologically important proteins, (2) develop robust methods for high-level expression and isotopic (15N, 13C and 2D ) enrichment of these protein domains, (3) apply multi-dimensional NMR methodology to solve the 3D structure of the domains in solution, (4) characterize inhibitor binding, and (5) identify small molecular weight metabolites.

A major goal of the Biomolecular NMR Core Facility is to initiate new NMR-linked collaborative grant proposals to secure funds for life science research. In addition, the facility provides education and training in the latest multi-nuclear, multi-dimensional NMR methodologies to K-State students. To support these activities, a research associate at the facility may be available to provide support and education.
