Bourne Foundation NMR Spectroscopy Facility

The Institute for Glycomics' Bourne Foundation NMR Spectroscopy Facility comprises of 400 MHz and 600 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers, a low-resolution mass spectrometer (LRMS) and a fourier-transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). This facility comprises a suite of instruments that are utilised for a wide range of applications, including routine organic chemistry or small molecule characterisation, fragment-based drug discovery, high-resolution characterisation of complex organic molecules, and studying binding interactions between ligands and biomolecules, including proteins, viruses, cells or parasites.

Equipment

400 MHz NMR Spectrometer
