So you want to study Chemistry?
Welcome to Chemistry at Oxford! Our M. Chem. topped the subject ranking for Chemistry in the Guardian's University Guide 2014, and no other university can match the simultaneous breadth and depth of the Oxford Chemistry experience. You'll study a four-year course, and spend your final year working full-time on a project with some of the leading researchers in the UK. Fundamental science and blue skies thinking are celebrated here, but so is commercialisation - maybe your work will help launch a spin-out company! To learn more about the admissions process, please visit http://admissions.chem.ox.ac.uk/Default.aspx, and to read more about the unique tutorial system and other exciting features of the Oxford experience, see http://admissions.chem.ox.ac.uk/.

Practical Uses of NMR: Exploring Enzymes to Fight Disease

Series
Chemistry for the Future: Human Health
Embed
The mutant enzymes that cause disease in our bodies can be combated by chemical inhibitors if we understand how these molecules are interacting.
Dr Ivanhoe Leung shows how Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) can be used to study enzymes in three critical ways.
