High Resolution Nmr Of Macromolecules

High Resolution NMR of Macromolecules presents the development in the NMR study of polymers. This book discusses the exciting area of application of NMR to polymer science as the result of the more general accessibility of instruments of high magnetic field. Organized into 15 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the spectral analysis and the dependence of chemical shifts and J couplings on structure. This text then discusses the isomerism in polymer chains without special reference to NMR. Other chapters consider the interpretation of synthetic polymer spectra in terms of structure, stereochemical configuration, conformation, and chain growth mechanism. This book discusses as well the application of high resolution NMR to the study of nucleic acids, which has not been so well developed as that of polypeptides and proteins. The final chapter deals with biopolymers and their model compounds. This book is a valuable resource for chemists and research workers.

"Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy remains the foremost analytical technique for the structure elucidation of organic molecules and an indispensable tool for the synthetic, medicinal and natural product chemist. New techniques continue to emerge and the application of NMR methods continues to expand. High-Resolution NMR Techniques in Organic Chemistry is designed for use in academic and industrial NMR facilities, as a text for graduate-level NMR courses, and as an accessible reference for the chemist's or spectroscopist's desk."--BOOK JACKET.

High Resolution NMR: Theory and Chemical Applications discusses the principles and theory of nuclear magnetic resonance and how this concept is used in the chemical sciences. This book is written at an intermediate level, with mathematics used to augment verbal descriptions of the phenomena. This text pays attention to developing and interrelating four approaches – the steady state energy levels, the rotating vector picture, the density matrix, and the product operator formalism. The style of this book is based on the assumption that the reader has an acquaintance with the general principles of quantum mechanics, but no extensive background in quantum theory or proficiency in mathematics is required. This book begins with a description of the basic physics, together with a brief account of the historical development of the field. It looks at the study of NMR in liquids, including high resolution NMR in the solid state and the principles of NMR imaging and localized spectroscopy. This book is intended to assist chemistry graduate students, advanced undergraduate students, or researchers to understand NMR at a fundamental level. This text also provides illustrations of the applications of NMR to the determination of the structure of small organic molecules and macromolecules, including proteins.

Ultra-high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods refer to advanced techniques used to obtain detailed structural information about molecules. These methods use high-field magnets and specialized pulse sequences to achieve very high resolution in the NMR spectrum, allowing for the detection of very small chemical shifts and coupling constants. One of the main applications of ultra-high resolution NMR methods is in the study of biological macromolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids. These methods can be used to determine the three-dimensional structure of these molecules, which is important for understanding their function and for drug design. Ultra-high resolution NMR methods can also be used for the study of small molecules. These methods can be used to determine the conformation of a molecule in solution, which is important for understanding the properties of a molecule and for designing new materials. In addition, ultra-high resolution NMR can be used for quantitative analysis of complex mixture. The high resolution of the spectrum allows for the detection of very small amounts of impurities or contaminants, and can also be used to determine the concentration of a component in a mixture. Overall, ultra-high resolution NMR methods are powerful tools that can provide detailed structural information about molecules and can be used in a wide range of applications, including biology, chemistry, and materials science. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a potent analytical tool to comprehend physical and chemical nature (mobility, dynamics and kinetics) of small to medium size molecules for an extensive range of samples under variety of conditions such as temperature, concentration, and pH. A wealth of information related to molecular properties and interactions can be furnished by using NMR which could consequently provide utility in molecular structural identification. However, low sensitivity along with low resolution is a concern in application of NMR. Within the past few decades, NMR sensitivity has improved significantly through advancement in instrumentation as well as methodological developments. Recent upgrade in NMR instrumentation such as cryogenically cooled probes[1] has led to increase sensitivity and three to four-times better signal /noise ratio in comparison to room temperature probes leading to faster acquisition times and improved sensitivity. Resolution of spectrum is additionally improved in a high magnetic field which disperses the chemical shifts over the broad frequency range (in Hz). Nevertheless, signal overlaps continue being a limiting factor for characterizing complicated spectra. Therefore, a steady development of new pulse sequences and enhancements of the existing ones are of vital importance in improving the overall performance of NMR spectroscopy.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) is now widely regarded as having evolved into a subscience. The field has become immensely diverse, ranging from medical use through solid state NMR to liquid state applications, with countless books and scientific journals devoted to these topics. Theoretical as well as experimental advance continues to be rapid, and has in fact accelerated by many novel innovations. This multi-authored book focuses on the latest developments in the rapidly evolving field of high resolution NMR, specifically with a view to applications on the structure elucidation of organic molecules of moderate molecular weight. Conceptually it differs from basic educational texts, hard-core scientific papers and regular review articles in that each chapter may be regarded as the authors' personal account of their special insights and results that crystallised after several years of research into a given topic. The book revolves around several themes and offers a handful of scientific "gems" of various colors, reflecting the great diversity of NMR. It contains 16 loosely connected chapters written by some of today's most accomplished NMR scientists in the world. Each chapter is a unique synthesis of the authors' previous research results in the given field, and thus projects special insights. Much emphasis has been given to the latest developments in NMR, in particular to selective pulses and pulsed field gradients. As a part of the series "Analytical Spectroscopy Library", with subsequent editions coming along this book should provide a platform for future research accounts of similar flavor. The material is presented in a mostly non-mathematical fashion, and is intended mainly for chemists, application NMR scientists and students with already some background in NMR. Some of the chapters slightly overlap in the discussed topics, which is particularly exciting in terms of gaining insight into the same area from different angles.

The progress in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy that took place during the last several decades is observed in both experimental capabilities and theoretical approaches to study the spectral parameters. The scope of NMR spectroscopy for studying a large series of molecular problems has notably broadened. However, at the same time, it requires specialists to fully use its potentialities. This is a notorious problem and it is reflected in the current literature where this spectroscopy is typically only used in a routine way. Also, it is seldom used in several disciplines in which it could be a powerful tool to study many problems. The main aim of this book is to try to help reverse these trends.This book is divided in three parts dealing with 1) high-resolution NMR parameters; 2) methods for understanding high-resolution NMR parameters; and 3) some experimental aspects of high-resolution NMR parameters for studying molecular structures. Each part is divided into chapters written by different specialists who use different methodologies in their work. In turn, each chapter is divided into sections. Some features of the different sections are highlighted: it is expected that part of the readership will be interested only in the basic aspects of some chapters, while other readers will be interested in deepening their understanding of the subject dealt with in them. Shows how NMR parameters are useful for structure assignment as well as to obtain insight on electronic structures Emphasis on conceptual aspects Contributions by specialists who use the discussed methodologies in their everyday work
