| The New York Structural Biology Center (NYSBC) is a state-of-the-art research center being developed
cooperatively by a consortium of several institutions including AECOM. The Center, located at 133rd and Convent Avenue on the City College Campus,
houses the largest and most advanced cluster of high-field research magnets (NMRs) in the United States.
The NYSBC has a 500MHz, a 600MHz, a 700MHz,
a wide-bore 750MHz (for NMR of solids), three 800MHz and a 900MHz (installation in 2004). Most of the
instruments are equipped with cryogenic probes and are especially useful for NMR studies of large
macromolecules and complexes (> 35kD). Each member institution accumulates credits of NMR time that be used to allocate time on the NYSBC instrumentation. Approximately every three months, a schedule is created in which each NMR instrument is allocated to an institution for a period of seven days. Currently, AECOM has requested full access to the 800MHz instruments and receives approximately four to five weeks of 800MHz NMR time during each cycle. |
