World's First Successful High Resolution NMR Measurement of Protein Using Oxide Superconductor NMR Device

A research team consisting of members from the National Institute for Materials Science, RIKEN, Kobe Steel, Ltd., and JEOL Ltd. led by Dr Tsukasa Kiyoshi of NIMS developed a high resolution NMR device using an oxide superconductor coil for the first time in the world and succeeded in NMR measurement of samples of aqueous solutions of proteins. The work was part of the Development of Systems and Technology for Advanced Measurement and Analysis Project of the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST).
