It is at the Institute of Analytical Sciences and Physico-Chemistry for the Environment and Materials (IPREM), in Pau, that you can now benefit from the analytical strength of the FT-ICR and the expertise of its research team.

Antibiotics aim to kill bacteria or slow their growth, but their overuse promotes the emergence of resistant strains. Only bacteria capable of resisting survive and proliferate. NMR allows us to better understand this phenomenon.

Accelerated 15N spin relaxation measurements via ultra-selective 1D NMR allow access to the dynamics of proteins with highly crowded spectra, such as the polyglutamine tract in huntingtin.

Did you know that there is an ultra-precise technique for identifying unknown molecules?

At the Experimental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Conference (ENC) 2026, the prestigious Günther Laukien Award was presented to our colleague Guido Pintacuda. ​​This award recognizes his contributions to the development of solid-state NMR through ultrafast magic angle (MAS) sample rotation techniques.

This article highlights the strategic role of shared research facilities offering solid-state NMR, showing how centralized infrastructure, expert support, and collaboration between facilities improve research productivity, training, and high-impact results in the fields of chemistry, life sciences, and materials science.

This study presents new 13C labeling and acquisition methods enabling intracellular NMR spectroscopy at physiological temperature (310 K) to study α-synuclein and tau protein at native cellular concentrations, revealing their disordered conformations and cellular interactions in living human cells.
