Applied nmr spectroscopy for chemists and life scientists (Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH)

Unlike traditional NMR textbooks for chemists, this fresh look at the topic combines theory, technology and application in a wide range of fields, targeting biochemists, medicinal chemists, and structural biologists, as well as organic chemists. The text has been developed from a one-semester graduate-level course taught żeby the authors at the University of Zurich, and offers numerous intuitive illustrations, training exercises and plain-language explanations of complex theory.§Divided into four major parts, the first introduces the basics of NMR, followed by a discussion of the underlying theory in part two. Part three deals with NMR instrumentation and practical aspects of experiment setup and execution, while the fourth part focuses on the main application of NMR in the biomolecular sciences, structure determination of biomolecules from steroids to proteins to nucleic acids.§With its focus on practical aspects and applications, this text will prove useful long after leaving college, aby helping users to select experimental methods and in setting up and running their own NMR experiments.
