Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Facility
The facility provides support for a full range of NMR studies into the structure, dynamics, kinetics and reaction mechanisms of small organic molecules, pharmaceuticals, and biomolecules, as well as ligand binding studies and metabonomics.
It houses a high-resolution NMR spectrometer for solution-state experiments. Our Varian INOVA 500 MHz has four channels, a Z-axis gradient, and variable temperature control (-20 to 80 deg C); it is suitable for multi-dimensional, multi-nuclei and long-term experiments, as well as samples at low concentrations. Some of the nuclei available for detection are 1H, 2H, 13C, 15N and 31P. Users are charged on an hourly basis. UNIX-based workstations are available upon request for off-line data processing and analysis; users are encouraged to install free software programs on their computers for off-line data processing and viewing.
