NMR

NMR spectrometers are complicated machines. The basic course takes 25 hours of theoretical and practical instruction plus some additional time learning how to use the software.

Becoming a certified NMR user is recommended to those who plan to use NMR regularly on long term basis (years). The research group leaders should recommend their students and postdocs to attend the course if they are going to use NMR as their main research tool for their theses or further research work.

Courses available

Practical NMR spectroscopy of biomolecules (C7995)

The course teaches theoretical and practical skills necessary to measure basic types of 1D and 2D NMR spectra with special attention to proteins and nucleic acids. The course consists of 5 half-day blocks, and it is taught every semester. Understanding the principle of NMR spectroscopy is required. MU students can enroll in the IS, others should contact the CF head and guarantor of the course (radovan.fiala@ceitec.muni.cz).

Theoretical Concepts of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (C5320)

The course provides a solid background in the theory of NMR spectroscopy.

NMR Spectroscopy of Biomolecules (C6770)

The course provides introduction to modern NMR techniques which can be applied to extract structural information for small and mid-size biological macromolecules - peptides, proteins, DNA and RNA oligonucleotides. In the seminar (C6775) students get practical experience with analyzing NMR spectra of proteins.

NMR Structural Analysis (C8950) and seminar (C8953)

The students learn how to use high-resolution NMR spectroscopy in the structural analysis of natural products and organic compounds.

EPR

Learning how to operate the EPR Spectrometer Bruker EMX nano requires about 2 hours of instruction. Contact the CF (nmr@ceitec.muni.cz) or directly Karel Kubíček (karek.kubicek@ceitec.muni.cz) to schedule the training.
