NMR Spectroscopy – News and Features

Researchers have discovered new ways to potentially reduce the size of NMR spectroscopy devices by eliminating the need for strong magnetic fields and liquid helium cooling systems.

Researchers have analyzed almost 100 inks and report that even when these products include an ingredient label, the lists often aren’t accurate. The team also detected small particles that could be harmful to cells.

Chemists have developed a simple, new method to degrade a subset of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) – toxic and durable pollutants colloquially referred to as “forever chemicals” – into benign end products.

A new study by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine has shed light on why cancer cells consume excessive amounts of glucose, but do not always metabolize it. The research is published in Molecular Cell.

An NMR method enhanced by a very powerful amplifier, in combination with molecular dynamics simulation, now enables protein detection and accurate characterization at physiological concentrations.

Using an inexpensive polymer called melamine, chemists have created a cheap, easy and energy-efficient way to capture carbon dioxide from smokestacks.

According to research, the wobbles, shakes and quivers of proteins play a critical role in their ability to function.

This article discusses the use of NMR to investigate protein structure and dynamics in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.

An antifungal molecule produced by Streptomyces bacteria has inspired the biosynthesis of a clean, energy-dense fuel for rockets.

Natural products have been harnessed for their therapeutic properties throughout the history of medicine. Land-dwelling – or terrestrial organisms – have naturally dominated the focus of scientists wanting to access nature’s pharmacopeia. But an untapped resource of natural products, large in size and potential, was close by – we just couldn’t access it.
