This note aims to have a detailed
explanation of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy focusing on its
applications in the study of molecular structure, especially proteins and other
biomolecules. Key topics explored include the electromagnetic spectrum, the
vector model of NMR, magnetization properties, and NMR excitation. The note
further introduces advanced concepts like chemical shift, nuclear shielding, and
spin-spin coupling as all forms necessary for interpreting NMR spectra. There
have been introductions of multi-dimensional NMR techniques that use them in
protein structure determination, and this book is very useful for researchers
and students to understand the theoretical and applied aspects of NMR
spectroscopy.
This note focuses on the
applications of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) in clinical and
non-clinical practice. The book is divided into two parts: MRS inside the
clinic, such as imaging and analyzing metabolic processes in vivo, which will be
presented in the first part of the book, and applications of MRS outside the
clinic in fields including biochemistry, neuroscience, and pharmacology. As the
note discusses both clinical and research applications, it allows for a very
comprehensive look at how MRS can be used to probe biochemical and metabolic
processes. This note would be an excellent resource for students and
professionals in the medical and scientific communities.
