The 4th U.S.-Canada Winter School on Biomolecular Solid-State NMR
Dates January 10-15, 2016 | Organizers Mei Hong (MIT) Chris Jaroniec (Ohio State) |
Location Trapp Family Lodge 700 Trapp Hill Rd Stowe, VT 05672 Telephone: (800) 826-7000 |
The 4th Winter School on Biomolecular Solid-State NMR will be held on January 10-15, 2016, in Stowe, Vermont. Similar to the three previous highly successful Winter Schools, this pedagogical meeting is aimed at students and postdocs in solid-state NMR as well as more senior scientists in related fields who are interested in entering this vibrant field. Our goals are to provide a focused week of teaching of the core concepts and practices in the increasingly multifaceted and complex field of biological solid-state NMR spectroscopy, and to encourage information sharing among different laboratories.
Scope
- Basics of solid-state NMR: orientation-dependent NMR frequencies, MAS, tensors and rotations, density operator and its time evolution, dipolar recoupling, and average Hamiltonian theory.
- Multidimensional correlation spectroscopy, resonance assignment and protein structure determination
- Theory of dipolar decoupling and polarization transfer
- Pushing the sensitivity envelope: dynamic nuclear polarization and 1H detection
- Effective “sensitivity enhancement” by non-uniform sampling
- Solid-state NMR techniques for measuring molecular motion
- Solid-state NMR techniques for measuring membrane protein orientation
- Beyond spin 1/2: NMR of quadrupolar nuclei
- Beating the 800-pound gorilla: NMR of membrane proteins
- XPLOR-NIH for structure calculation
