Associate Professor of Chemistry Myriam Cotten presented a research talk at the international Experimental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Conference (ENC), March 29-April 3, in Asilomar, Calif. This year's meeting, which marked the conference's golden anniversary, was one of the bestattended ENC in several years.
In her talk, "High-Resolution Solid-State NMR Structural and Topological Studies of Antimicrobial Piscidin Bound to Aligned Lipid Bilayers," Cotten explained how her research group has used modern advances in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to obtain atomic-level information on highly potent antimicrobial peptides. The long term goal of this research is to identify common principles that will facilitate the design of pharmaceuticals with enhanced antibacterial activity.
