The Minnesota NMR Center is now accepting registrations for the 2017 Advanced Hands-On NMR Workshop: From Protein Structure Determination to Drug Design.
This week-long 'hands-on' NMR course, held May 15-19, 2017, is directed at postdoctoral and graduate students interested in protein structure determination by NMR spectroscopy. This course will include hands-on sections on the experimental setup and optimization of pulse sequences with the center’s spectrometers, as well as an introduction to spectra interpretation and structure calculation (pulse sequence codes and scripts for structure calculation will be provided). Significant emphasis will be given to the study and interpretation of ligand binding and drug discovery by NMR. Participants will also have a unique opportunity to network with invited speakers and NMR Center staff members. TopSpin/VNMRJ and nmrPipe/Sparky software will be utilized.
Classes and hands-on NMR sections will be held at the Minnesota NMR Center, which is equipped with two 600, two 700, one 850, and one 900 MHz Bruker spectrometers with cryogenic probes.
Applications for the hands-on course are due by April 30, 2017. A discount of $100 will be applied if the registration is filed before April 1, 2017, making the early registration fee $550. Accommodations are available for an additional cost.
The Veglia lab's Dr. Manu Subrahmanian will be presenting on protein dynamics, in addition to the following Professor's:
Prof. Giuseppe Melacini (McMaster University)
Prof. Marco Tonelli (NMRFAM at University of Wisconsin-Madison)
Prof. Vincenzo Venditti (Iowa State University)
Prof. Maurizio Pellecchia (University of California-Riverside)
Prof. William Pomerantz (University of Minnesota)
Dr. Mark McCoy (Merck)
