Ranked among the top public universities in the nation,
Miami University is the first institution to purchase an 850 MHz NMR in
the United States. The instrument is expected to be delivered in
2007. The increased sensitivity and resolution offered by this
system allows the advanced studies of protein structures and complexes,
measurement of ligand binding thermodynamics as well as metabonomic
studies of biofluids. It will be primarily used by Dr. Michael Kennedy,
the Ohio Eminent Scholar in Structural Biology, and his research lab.
Dr. Kennedy's research will focus primarily on protein
structure/function investigations in mechanistic studies of human
disease and the application of NMR-based metabonomics to the study of
human diseases. (excerpt from news release)
