This lab is equipped to chemically synthesize small proteins from amino acids, which are the building blocks of all proteins. The lab includes an automated peptide synthesizer, as well as a high-performance liquid chromatography system. Various peptides are then studied using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to elucidate their three-dimensional structures.
