Melbourne Magnetic Resonance

Melbourne Magnetic Resonance (MMR) helps researchers analyse the structure, properties and interactions of molecules for pharmaceutical development, material sciences, and other biological and chemical applications.

MMR offers a suite of nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers. This technology is useful for analysing potential new drugs and proteins that cannot be crystallised. It can also be used to investigate interactions between molecules, including between proteins and specific ligands (including candidate drugs) or target membranes.

MMR is based in the Bio21 Institute.
