 (../wp-content/uploads/2009/09/enews_header.gif"> National Magnetic Resonance Facility at Madison March 2013 time requests: This is a reminder that March 19th @ 4pm CST, is the deadline for requesting spectrometer time in April 2013 at NMRFAM. Announcing the 2013 Protein Structure determination Workshop This year we will hold our Annual Protein Structure Determination Workshop from June 9th until June 14th. Registration and lodging information will be available on our NMRFAM(http://www.nmrfam.wisc.edu/home/workshops/) website shortly. We are also in the initial planning stages of an advanced structure determination workshop focused on structure refinement with more diverse restraints, e.g. RDCs, PREs, water refinement, etc. This workshop will be offered in 2014 and it will be better to have taken the basic protein structure determination workshop held in June. We would appreciate your input about general interest for this workshop and any other suggestions. Write to Milo Westler - milo at nmrfam.wisc.edu. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 	 Rotvieh (700 MHz) spectrometer is unavailable and part of the facility anymore.
 	 Gelbvieh (800 MHz) spectrometer is still running on the triple resonance - room temperature probe.

 	 LC/MS micrOTOF Q II is now available for collaboration. Contact the facility for more information.
 	 Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS):

>  
>  	 The Bruker Nanostar SAXS instrument is currently available by appointment only. Prior to signing up for the instrument, please email Prof. Sam Butcher (butcher at biochem.wisc.edu) and indicate "SAXS TIME" in the subject line of your email. Prof. Butcher will help you to schedule a time when someone from the facility will be available to assist you with SAXS data collection. Please note the rate for academic/collaboration use is $5/hr. and $100/hr. for commercial users.

 	 A loaner 4mm 1H{X} cpmas probe (15,000 rpm max) has been installed on the Bruker 500II (Devon) and is available by special request. This instrument has solids amplifiers and is capable of many modern solids experiments. A low-e 1H13C15N cpmas probe (24,000 rpm max) has now been installed on 500II.
 	 Devon (500 MHz II) has an updated list of probes.

 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Spectrometers at NMRFAM: 
 	 Status of spectrometers can be determined at anytime as follows: In Sundial after login, go to "Options"----->"Site Resources"----->"Spectrometers" A new set of Options open on the Sundial Board. Go to "Search"------>"By Owner". A new window pops up in the second section (Manufacturer), type/write in either "Bruker " or "Varian". A listing of the spectrometers will be displayed. Select the one of interest and check on it's status, probes available etc.
