** Description of the Faculty / Research group **
The Faculty of Science consists of six departments: Biology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Information and Computing Sciences, Physics and Astronomy, Mathematics and Chemistry. The Faculty is home to 3500 students and nearly 2000 staff and is internationally renowned for the quality of its research.
The NMR Research Group (http://www.nmr.chem.uu.nl), headed by Prof. R. Boelens, is part of the Chemistry Department (http://www.chem.uu.nl) and belongs to the Bijvoet Center for Biomolecular Research (http://www.bijvoet-center.nl). The research within the NMR group is focused on the structure determination of proteins and protein complexes by high-resolution NMR spectroscopy and bio-computational modelling. The group has strong research lines on protein-DNA and protein-protein complexes in transcription and DNA repair and modelling of bio-molecular complexes. The NMR Research group also belongs to the European NMR Research Infrastructures (www.eu-nmr.eu), providing experimental NMR access to European groups.
