The course will cover how to study structure and function of biological macromolecules, mainly proteins, by multidimensional multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The objective is to master the basic theoretical principles and to obtain skills for sample preparation, data collection, data analysis and interpretation. The focus is on protein three-dimensional structure determination, measurement of dynamics and observation of protein-ligand interactions. This course is combined with BIO1: Cell-Free Protein Synthesis for NMR and IR Spectroscopy.

Course leader
Lecturer: Prof. Perttu Permi (University of Jyvskyl, Finland)Coordinator: Dr. Elina Sievnen (University of Jyvskyl, Finland)

Target group
Basic knowledge of NMR spectroscopy. M.Sc. or equivalent in chemistry. M.Sc. students in their final term are encouraged to apply as well. The Summer School annually offers courses for advanced master's students, graduate students, and post-docs in the various fields of science and information technology.

Course aim
The most important aims of the Summer School are to develop post-graduates scientific readiness and to offer students the possibility to study in a modern, scientific environment and to create connections to the international science community.
