Synopsis

As a spectroscopic method, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has seen spectacular growth, both as a technique and in its applications. Today's applications of NMR span a wide range of scientific disciplines, from physics to biology to medicine. Each volume of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance comprises a combination of annual and biennial reports which together provide comprehensive coverage of the literature on this topic. This Specialist Periodical Report reflects the growing volume of published work involving NMR techniques and applications, in particular NMR of natural macromolecules, which is covered in two reports: NMR of Proteins and Nucleic Acids and NMR of Carbohydrates, Lipids and Membranes. In his foreword to the first volume, the then editor, Professor Robin Harris announced that the series would be a discussion on the phenomena of NMR and that articles will be critical surveys of the literature. This has certainly remained the case throughout the series, and in line with its predecessors, Volume 40 aims to provide a comprehensive coverage of the relevant NMR literature. For the current volume this relates to publications appearing between June 2009 and May 2010 (the nominal period of coverage in volume 1 was July 1970 to June 1971). Compared to the previous volume there are some new members of the reporting team. Theoretical Aspects of Spin-Spin Couplings are covered by J. Jazwinski, while E. Swiezewska and J.Wojcik provide an account of NMR of Carbohydrates, Lipids and Membranes.

About this title

Product Description:

Each volume of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance comprises a combination of annual and biennial reports which together provide comprehensive coverage of the literature on this topic.

From the Back Cover:

More than 3500 articles are published directly in the field of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance every year, and the tool is widely used across many subject areas. Keeping up with the literature can be difficult, both in time and availability of journals. Specialist Periodical Reports provide comprehensive and critical reviews of the latest literature. With coverage over the last 12 months, the SPR on NMR is an essential reference for NMR specialists and applied scientists using this important tool. With contributions from leading workers across the globe, volume 41 of this established reference work includes several articles on nuclear shielding. Theoretical aspects of spin-spin couplings are also discussed in two articles, as is nuclear spin relaxation in gasses and liquids. Solid state NMR spectroscopy receives an in-depth review. NMR of proteins and nucleic acids are discussed in one chapter, and other chapter is dedicated to lipids and membranes. A further chapter overviews the use of NMR in living systems. Finally, synthetic macromolecules and liquid crystals each receive their own comprehensive reviews. To discover the latest developments in NMR, look no further than this Specialist Periodical Report. Purchase of the print edition includes online access from the RSC Publishing Platform.
