Resolution in a new dimension for solving challenges of society
The new GHz-class NMR technology is now enabling novel research in functional structural biology of proteins and protein complexes.

Analysis of biomolecules in solid and liquid phases using NMR spectroscopy
Research includes the structures, dynamics and function of important globular proteins, membrane proteins and protein complexes.
Ultra-high field NMR is also unique in that it can study the properties and interactions of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), which make up 30-50% of the human proteome. IDPs play a crucial functional rule in fundamental cell biology, and they are also implicated in many instances of disease biology.
