We are delighted to offer a 1-day course (including theory and hands-on practical sessions, laptop required) focussing on relaxation data analysis using the well-supported software CcpNmr AnalysisDynamics and ChemEx. ¹⁵N relaxation data (T₁, T₂, heteronuclear nOe) as well as more advanced relaxation dispersion and CEST data will be carefully extracted and analysed to learn how to use the software and show how these data should be treated and interpreted to provide accurate insight into the important mechanisms and functions of biomolecules.

The course will provide useful practical hints and tips not generally found in text books, with training provided by experts in the field.

Programme Summary :  

Session 1: CcpNmr AnalysisDynamics (Dr Vicky Higman, CcpNmr Team).

Session 2: ChemEx (Dr Guillaume Bouvignies, ENS Paris).

Pre-requisites: To gain the most benefit from the course, exposure to basic ¹⁵N relaxation data measurement and analysis of macromolecules as well as hands-on spectrometer experience is desirable. Students will need to bring a laptop pre-loaded with AnalysisDynamics and ChemEx software (laptops not supplied).

We look forward to seeing you!
