The Experimental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Conference (ENC) grants approximately 50 student stipends to assist with conference expenses. Each stipend is usually $300, plus free conference registration. Accommodations are not included. The stipends are funded by the ENC, the Suraj P. Manrao Science Foundation, and the generous contributions of companies.
The ENC Conference is an annual gathering of NMR Spectroscopists to share ideas, techniques and research. Congratulations, Ravi!

We are pleased to announce that Kazu Yamamoto has been awarded the prestigious 2011 ENC Ritchey Travel Award, which he will receive at the Experimental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Conference in April of this year.
Kazu received this award for developing an innovative approach to increase the sensitivity of NMR measurements of membrane proteins. This NMR (ENC) conference award is given to only one graduate student who has done the most outstanding research.
The ENC Ritchey Travel Award is established to honor William M. Ritchey, who is Professor Emeritus of Chemistry and Macromolecular Science at Case Western Reserve University. William Ritchey founded the ENC in 1960. The award is fully funded with contributions from Professor Ritchey’s former students. The areas of the Award are to reflect Prof. Ritchey’s broad interests in the development and application of NMR to chemical and material sciences. The Award is open to graduate students who are within the final year of a PhD program. The research and abstract of the applicants should show work with significant involvement in the development and applications of advanced NMR techniques or methods.
Congratulations, Kazu!

Avanti is now selling 14:0 PE-DTPA(Cu) lipids. The addition of these lipids to their catalog was inspired by exciting research performed in our lab! This is outstanding vallidation that the research done in the Ramamoorthy lab is extremely important and relevant in both the NMR and biological fields. A detailed pdf brochure can be downloaded by following this link.
"Inclusion of copper (Cu2+) ions in bicelles in the form of a lipid chelate resulted in a 10-fold T1 reduction and 2.7-fold increase in S/N of spectra for static experiments. This improvement would allow 2D experiments on membrane proteins in aligned lipid bilayers that typically take 3 days to be completed in <1.5 days. The technique is particularly beneficial to the study of membrane disrupting/permeating systems (such as antimicrobial peptides, toxins, amyloid peptides, and fusion peptides) whose concentration cannot be increased, as they result in nonlamellar conditions."

We are pleased to announce that Kazu Yamamoto has been awarded the Rackham One-Term Dissertation Fellowship for Fall 2010.
Rackham One-Term Dissertation Fellowships are intended to speed the process of completing the dissertation. Except in unusual cases, they should be awarded to students who are at the writing stage of the dissertation. This will permit candidates to work full-time on the final stages of their dissertations. Students are selected by their program for this award.
Congratulations, Kazu!
