You are cordially invited to next week’s talk: On Wednesday, 27 May 2026, at 13:00 CEST Prof. Dr. Angela M. Gronenborn (Department of Structural Biology, University of Pittsburgh) will talk about “The Awesome Power of Fluorine NMR”.
Abstract:
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a versatile tool for probing structure, dynamics, folding, and interactions of molecules at atomic resolution. While naturally occurring magnetically active isotopes, such as 1H, 13C, or 15N, are most commonly used, 19F is a very attractive and sensitive alternative nucleus, which offers rich information in solution and in the solid state. This presentation will summarize the unique benefits 19F NMR spectroscopy for the study of biomolecular systems.
