Handbook of Structural Biology: Practical NMR Applications

Handbook of Structural Biology: Practical NMR Applications begins with an overview of NMR development and applications in biological systems. This textbook describes recent developments in instrument hardware and methodology. Chapters highlight the scope and limitations of NMR methods. While detailed math and quantum mechanics dealing with NMR theory have been addressed in several well-known NMR volumes, chapter two of this volume illustrates the fundamental principles and concepts of NMR spectroscopy in a more descriptive manner. Topics such as instrument set up, data acquisition, and data processing using a variety of offline software are discussed. Chapters further discuss several routine strategies for preparing samples, especially for macromolecules and complexes. The target market for this volume includes researchers in the fields of biochemistry, chemistry, structural biology, and biophysics.
