Abstract
The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation’s (ANSTO) National Deuteration
Facility (NDF) offers the facilities, staff and expertise to produce molecules where all or part of
the molecular hydrogen is in the form of deuterium (2H or D).
The facility produces deuterated proteins, biopolymers, nucleic acids and synthesised small
organic molecules such as lipids, phospholipids, sugars, surfactants, aliphatic hydrocarbons and
aromatic, heterocyclic compounds. Double and triple labelling of proteins with both deuterium
and the stable isotopes carbon-13 and/or nitrogen-15, are also available.
The NDF offers molecular deuteration using either in vivo biodeuteration or chemical
deuteration techniques.
