Symposium with renowned international participation entitled "Breakthroughs in NMR of Structural Biology" has been organized between May 8 and 11, 2012 in Portoroz, Slovenia. The symposium gathered in one place the leading scientists dealing with structural biology and NMR techniques from most European countries and wider. The part of the symposium program with 160 participants was related to the Bio-NMR project, which is funded under the 7th Framework Programme of the European Commission. The principal aim of the event was structuring and integration of NMR infrastructure centers, communities of users and NMR research in Europe into a coherent research community that is ready to solve scientific and biomedical challenges at the increasing complexity of research in the world.

B.01 Organiser of a scientific meeting
COBISS.SI-ID: 261370368Symposium with renowned international participation entitled "3rd Annual East-NMR User Meeting" has been organized between November 13 and 16, 2012 in Lasko, Slovenia. The program of this international symposium included presentations and critical assessment of recent discoveries in the study of structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules using NMR. Symposium participants presented the results of their latest research in the fields of proteins, oligonucleotides and small molecules, as well as their structural studies and application. The symposium gathered in one place the leading scientists who use NMR spectroscopy in their research. The part of the symposium program with 100 participants was related to the EAST-NMR project, which was funded under the 7th Framework Programme of the European Commission. The symposium website is available at http://www.nmr.ki.si/eastNMR2012.
B.01 Organiser of a scientific meeting
COBISS.SI-ID: 263871488In an invited lecture at the most prominent conference in the field of NMR spectroscopy in biological system in the field of world (International Conference on Magnetic Resonance in Biological Systems, ICMRBS2012), which took place betweem 19th and 24th of August 2012 in Lyon, France with exceptional international attendance, we presented our latest findings and results on structural and dynamic features of novel G-quadruplexes from intonic regions of N-myc oncogene. The lecture received a remarkable response.
B.04 Guest lecture
COBISS.SI-ID: 5049882Dr. Damjan Makuc, who graduated within the program group won the Krka prize for his Ph.D. thesis entitled "NMR studies of conformation and interactions of functionalized indoles as anion receptors" at 42nd Krka Prize competition (cobiss id 5110554). The award was given also to Maja Marušič for her diploma thesis with the entitled "NMR structure of G-quadruplex from human papilloma virus genome" (cobiss id 5110810).
D.09 Tutoring for postgraduate students
COBISS.SI-ID: 5110554In collaboration with Lek Pharmaceuticals, Ljubljana, the process for the preparation of compounds having structures typical for proton pump inhibitors (an antiulcer drugs) in enantiomerically enriched form by using particular chiral metal catalysts in an enantioselective oxidation step, have been developed.
