Spectrometer

The Program in Biophysics houses a state-of-the-art NMR facility with a high resolution spectrometer operating at 500 (11.7 Tesla). Instruction and maintenance of the instruments is provided by Jonathan Vural.

Our instrument is a Bruker Avance III HD 4-channel system (1H, 13C, 15N, 2H) with a TCI-cryoprobe and a Z- gradient. The instrument runs Bruker’s Topspin (version 3.6.3) software. This instrument is part of the Boston University NMR Core Facility directed by Dr. C. James McKnight.

In addition to the computers associated with the spectrometers, extensive computer facilities are available for off-line NMR processing, peak picking, analysis and structure determination.
