Dear colleagues,
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is an exceptionally valuable analytical tool widely utilized today. Its applications encompass a broad range, from the structural identification of small molecules in natural product chemistry to the investigation of complex systems such as supramolecular compounds, materials, peptides, proteins, and even solid-state systems through solid-state NMR techniques. NMR enables the identification and characterization of both intra and intermolecular interactions in vitro and ex-vivo, facilitating kinetic studies and the examination of heteronuclear complexes in bioinorganic research. One of its primary advantages lies in its non-destructive nature, allowing for the identification of structures and interaction processes without perturbing the system under study. Furthermore, NMR enables conformational analysis in biomolecular systems, providing valuable insights into the mechanisms of action in various biological systems. This wealth of information aids in the development of novel drugs and vaccines for a wide spectrum of diseases.
