NMR Spectroscopy – News and Features

A group of researchers have revealed for the first time how cholesterol behaves in cells at the atomistic level, information that could have broad implications for future studies of health and disease.

Cryo electron microscopy (cryo EM) has revolutionized our understanding of the intricate molecular machinery that governs life. In this article, we discuss what cryo EM is, how it works, it's strengths, limitations and applications.

Batteries have become an integral part of our everyday lives. In this article, we will consider the main types of batteries, battery components and materials and the reasons for and ways in which battery materials are tested.

The analysis of all small molecules in an organism (the metabolome) has huge potential for medical diagnostics. A German research team is investigating this with nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry (NMR).

In preliminary in vitro laboratory tests, espresso compounds can inhibit tau protein aggregation – a process that is believed to be involved in the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.

Using new NMR methods and previously unavailable analytical tools, a team of researchers has finally solved the structure of boron monoxide.

Scientists have discovered an alternative, novel source of the important anticoagulant heparin, extracted from the mucus of the giant African snail.

A new approach has been developed to harvest detailed chemical information on radioactive and/or enriched stable isotopes. The approach is much more efficient, requiring 1,000 times less material than previous methods, with no loss of data quality.

A new way of machining microscale rotors from diamond crystal can enable ultrasensitive NMR devices for probing proteins and other materials.

Researchers have characterized and named the protein domain that is responsible for the recognition of collagen for the first time.
