Given the large number of candidates in a typical applicant pool, your documents must convey the most important information about you in the most clear and efficient manner. Learn about how your materials should differ based on the type of institution and/or program, and how to create “glance-able” documents to speak most effectively on your behalf. Exhibitor Presentation Bruker 9:30 am - 11:00 am, Esplanade, Room 157 Recent Advancements in Magnetic Resonance Solutions for Biology Magnetic Resonance offers many insights into how biological systems function. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Electron Paramag - netic Resonance (EPR) are two techniques used to identity species, dy - namics, and structures of proteins, peptides, nucleotides, and lipids. The speakers in this session will present recent advancements in magnetic resonance in biophysics. Clemens Anklin will present “Optimizing the NMR workflow for protein dynamics experiments." NMR is ideally suited to study proteins in mo - tion. A suite of NMR experiments allows the ability to look at protein dy - namics from picosecond to very long timescales. One of the difficulties in performing these experiments was the need to assemble and master a variety of tools. We are currently working on creating an integrated workflow that can facilitate this task for the researcher. From experi - ment selection, to import of assignments, to analysis of the experimen - tal data to visualization on a structure the user can find all these tools in a single workflow. Ralph Weber will present “New EPR tools for studying biological struc - tures and dynamics.” Motional dynamics in biological molecules such as proteins, peptides, and nucleotides, offers great insights into the functioning of these biological systems. Owing to the broad range of
