NMR Spectroscopy in Biology and MRI

Description

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a useful analytical tool in biology. Researchers have used it for more than 50 years. F. Bloch and E. Purcell developed NMR in 1946 and received the 1952 Nobel Prize in Physics for this work.

NMR studies biological macromolecules and small molecule...

Transcript

Nuclear magnetic resonance or NMR spectroscopy is an analytical technique used to investigate the structure and composition of samples.

In biology, NMR has broad applicability; it is used to study proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids and even supports profiling complex metabolites.

An advantage of this technique is that it requires ...
