| Learning Outcomes |
Competences |
| Students will be able to understand and describe the procedure of NMR resonance assignment of proteins using advanced multinuclear and multidimensional NMR experiments. Students can actively and independently work with protein 3D NMR spectra. Students understand how NMR spectroscopy is applied to probe protein structure, dynamics, and interaction with ligands.

| Skills |
Knowledge |
| Students can describe the procedure of NMR resonance assignment by 3D triple resonance experiments like HNCO, HNCA, etc. (k2,k3). Students can work with 2D and 3D NMR data in specialized software programs and are able to perform a resonance assignment (k3,k4). Students understand advance NMR experiments with approaches for solvent suppression, and can decide which strategy is best applied in a certain context (k2,k5). Students understand how NMR can be applied to probe protein structure, dynamics, and interaction with ligands using advanced NMR spectroscopy methods (k2,k3).
