NMR wisdom:Research Groups in the UK

Research Groups in the UK

• Biological NMR Unit - The University of Birmingham
  The Biological NMR Unit was established in 1990 as a joint venture
  between The School of Biochemistry and some research groups in the School
  of Medicine, notably the Department of Rheumatology and The CRC Institute
  for Cancer Studies.
• Biomembrane Structure Unit, University of Oxford
  Solid State NMR performed on Biological Membranes. Structure determination
  and protein-lipid and protein-ligand interactions
  Edinburgh Biomolecular NMR Unit
  Our research focus is on protein structure. The main tool we use is
  solution state NMR, but we also employ calorimetry, circular dichroism,
  hydrodynamics, molecular modelling, mass spectrometry and fluorescence
  spectroscopy to complement the high-resolution structure information.
  For example, we are interested in multi-modular proteins such as are
  found in the complement system. Many of these are large, extended, flexible
  and glycosylated.
• Haemworks TMR network
  Investigating structure-function relationships in haem proteins using
  NMR and molecular biology techniques
• James Keeler Group; Department of Chemistry; University of Cambridge
  We're based in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge,
  and the focus of our research is the development of new methods in Nuclear
  Magentic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
• Joint UCL/LICR NMR Laboratory, University College London
  Biomolecular NMR Spectroscopy. Our lab is a joint facility of the Department
  of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the Ludwig Institute for Cancer
  Research, and a component of the UCL/Birkbeck College BBSRC-sponsored Centre
  for Structural Biology.
• MR Centre, University of Nottingham, UK
• MRC Biomedical NMR Centre The Centre is a multi-user facility for biomedical NMR which was set
  up by the MRC in 1980. It is located at the National Institute for Medical
  Research (NIMR) and has excellent and well-supported facilities for liquid-state
  NMR studies of biological macromolecules. The Centre's facilities include
  spectrometers operating at 500 and 600 MHz and have recently been enhanced
  by the addition of an 800 MHz instrument.
• NMR Group, University of Kent, UK
  NMR Group, University of Newcastle
• NMR Lab, Queen Mary and Westfield College
  The ULIRS high field n.m.r. service is intended to provide researchers
  in the University with an n.m.r. spectrum on as wide a range of nuclei
  as possible. The service is situated in the Department of Chemistry at
  Queen Mary and Westfield College (QMW).
• NMR Service, University of York, UK
• NMR, University Cambridge, UK
• Oxford University, Dyson Perrins Laboratory - NMR Spectroscopy Facility
  The NMR facility in the Dyson Perrins Laboratory is one of the largest
  available to Organic Chemists in the UK. It houses seven FT instruments
  with proton operating frequencies ranging between 200 and 500 MHz.
• Solid-state NMR Group, University of Nottingham
  Our research involves the design and implementation of new solid-state
  nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments.
  Our current work includes the design of new multi-dimensional NMR correlation
  experiments and new ways of exciting normally forbidden multiple-quantum
  transitions. Ongoing applications include investigations of polymer blends
  and proton conducting materials.

• Solid-state NMR, University of Durham Industrial Research Laboratories
• UK NMR Discussion Group
  On these pages will be posted up-and-coming meeting dates, details
  of the scientific sessions and registration forms. There is also a useful
  page of links to other NMR sites.
