Biochem 765 Course Outline

The NMR phenomenon

Jardetsky & Roberts, Ch. II, IV; Evans, Ch. 1; Cavanagh, Ch 1, 5; Keeler, Intro to Q. Mech.; Keeler, Product Operators.

1.     Nuclear spin, precession, spin states, equilibrium magnetization, vector model, rotating frame, radio frequency pulses, Fourier transform, chemical shift

2.     Spin echoes, scalar coupling, product operators, magnetization/polarization transfer

3.     Dynamics: the NMR timescale, relaxation, NOE, dynamics (fast, intermediate and slow exchange).

Beyond 1D 1H NMR

            Evans, Ch. 2, Cavanagh, Ch. 4

4.     2D NMR: COSY, NOESY, TOCSY; Heteronuclear NMR; INEPT, HSQC

5.     3D NMR: NOESY-HSQC, TOCSY-HSQC triple resonance.

NMR properties of biomolecules

            Evans, Ch. 4, 9

6.     Proteins: amino acids, chemical shifts, spin systems, secondary structures, NOEs, coupling constants

7.     Nucleic acids: nucleotides, chemical shifts, spin systems, structures, base pairing

Structure determination

            Evans, Ch. 3

8.     Distance geometry, restrained molecular dynamics (annealing) simulations

Specific examples

9.     Molecular recognition, chemical shift mapping, filtered experiments, SAR by NMR, transfer NOE, drug design, complexes

10.  Dynamics from heteronuclear relaxation: HIV protease, DHFR, SH2 domains
