We have an opening for a postdoctoral fellow to use NMR to study dynamics of an enzyme while it is carrying on reversible catalysis. The prospects are promising and can be compared with thorough enzymology and crystallography of its ligand-dependent conformational changes (done in our dept.). The enzyme is sizeable enough to be challenging, but we have a battery of excellent 800 MHz spectra of deuterated samples for launching the project. The postdoctoral fellow will be housed in a new building on the same floor with a new 800 MHz facility. In January or February, the new compact Bruker 800 MHz Avance III with TCI cryoprobe will be installed. It joins an existing Inova 600 MHz with cryogenic probe and a Bruker DRX-500 being upgraded with TCI cryoprobe. The fellow will have stimulating interactions with Lesa Beamer’s crystallography group, an enzymologist, and a group simulating enzyme reactions. The abstract for the small, collaborative NIH grant creating the position is at:
