The Biopolymer NMR Lab interdisciplinary research uses NMR spectroscopy , biochemistry and other biophysical techniques to answer complex biological questions about carbohydrates and carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes). We are currently working with enzymes active on polysaccharides like cellulose, chitin and alginate. Furthermore, we are also applying enzymes for extracting and tailoring polysaccharides from seaweed to produce new biomaterials. Our approach is to characterize an enzyme's biochemistry and biophysics using a wide range of experimental techniques. Moreover, we aim to apply enzymes to modify the substrates they are active on and thus create new biomaterials with tailored properties.
The Biopolymer NMR Lab is part of NOBIPOL at NTNU Norwegian University of Science and Technology
