800 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
(Varian 800 MHz NMR, Varian, Inc.)
An NMR spectrometer operating at 18.8T (800 MHz for protons) was funded through a $2.3 million NSF/EPSCoR grant (principal investigator, Richard Wittebort) and was installed in 2003 in the Molecular Imaging Research Center at the Brown Cancer Center. This system is used for the study of larger proteins and complexes using the TROSY technique. It is also equipped for solid-state (CP-MAS) NMR including a 32 mm HCN MAS probe.
