[{"type":"text","content":"\nUniversities of Warwick and Birmingham to receive 1.2 GHz NMRs for Enabling Life-Science and Green-Tech Research throughout the United Kingdom\n\n COVENTRY, United Kingdom--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nBruker announces that the United Kingdom is expanding its fundamental research infrastructure with recent orders for two 1.2 GHz Avance™ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers for the University of Warwick and the University of Birmingham. Each institution already has a Bruker 1.0 GHz NMR spectrometer and will advance their capabilities further for research into the materials properties for energy storage and biofuels, as well as into structures and interactions of biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and metabolites. System installations are expected in 2025, and scientists from across the UK will have access, while students can gain experience at the forefront of research.\nThis press release features multimedia.

The scientific insights gained help improve efficiency and durability of renewable energy technologies, and to develop novel materials.\n\nProfessor Steven Brown from the University of Warwick Solid-State NMR Group commented: “The linking of the new 1.2 GHz spectrometer at the University of Warwick to the 850 MHz and 1 GHz systems of the UK High-Field Solid-State NMR Facility will enable UK scientists to push forward frontiers in diverse fields from batteries and catalysts to pharmaceuticals and plant biomass.”\n\nThe University of Birmingham will utilize the increased sensitivity and resolution of 1.2 GHz NMR to advance research in functional and structural biology, and drug discovery. Researchers will study the structure, function, interactions and pathways of proteins and other biomolecules. As an example, they will study the structure of enzymes involved in antibiotic resistance, which could help in development of new antibiotics.\n\nTeresa Carlomagno, Professor and Academic Lead of HWB-NMR University of Birmingham stated: “NMR plays a ...
