Full Description
This exam assesses the theoretical underpinnings of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), elucidating its application in determining the structures of biomolecules in solution. Key concepts include spin states, chemical shifts, and multidimensional NMR techniques.
NMR plays a pivotal role in understanding protein folding, dynamics, and intermolecular interactions. Its application is crucial in both academic research and the pharmaceutical industry for drug design and therapeutic mechanisms.
Candidates will be required to articulate the principles of NMR technology, the significance of chemical shifts, and the interpretation of multidimensional spectra.
Preparation should include a thorough review of case studies illustrating the relevance of NMR in contemporary structural biology research.
