Overview

This NMR facility located in the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center, University of Georgia, houses seven NMR spectrometers (600-1100MHz) and a diverse collection of probes and hardware suitable for a wide range of biomolecular and chemical NMR. Specialized probes such as a 1.7mm cryoprobe at 800MHz, 5mm TXO C13 and N15 optimized cryoprobes at 900MHz and 1100MHz, and a comprehensive multi-phase (CMP) HRMAS probe at 600MHz extend the range of applications. We have a variety of automated sample handling capabilities and are equipped for remote access.

We are an integral part of the Network for Advanced NMR (NAN) ,  partnered with University of Connecticut ( NMRHUB, NMRBox) and University of Wisconsin (NMRFAM).  As part of this project, a Bruker 1.1 GHz spectrometer was recently installed that is equipped with a 5mm 13C, 15N TXO probe and a 3mm TCI probe

The current director is Professor Arthur Edison, whose research programs focus on metabolomics and other organism based NMR applications (Edison Lab page), as well as continuing work on the structure of glycans and other biomolecules.

The facility was initially developed by  Emeritus Professor James Prestegard who maintains a research program focused on new NMR methods to analyze structures of large mammalian glycoproteins and carbohydrate binding proteins using sparse isotope labeling strategies (Prestegard Lab page).

In addition to these research groups and the analytical services laboratory, many other CCRC and UGA researchers use the facility. Please inquire for assistance in finding appropriate collaborators and experienced NMR users.
