WESTCHESTER CHEMICAL SOCIETY

Fingerprinting Molecules by Proton NMR Spectroscopy

Speaker:

Prof. Abhijit Mitra
Dept. of Chemistry of Biochemistry
College of Mount St. Vincent
Riverdale, NY

Understanding π-π stacking plays an important role in determining the properties and behaviors of biomolecules and their interactions with drugs and proteins. We have recently shown that π-π stacking interaction can be studied by hitherto unknown concentration dependent chemical shift changes for a wide variety of heteroaromatic compounds in ¹H-NMR spectroscopy.

NMR Tutorial

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a powerful chemical analysis tool and is related to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) by is basis in the same fundemental physical phenomena. I recently came across an intersting tutorial site on the web for NMR. Check it out here

News: IBM researchers push MRI imaging to nanoscale

Researchers at IBM’s Almaden Research Center have developed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to visualize nanoscale objects. The new techniques are a major milestone in the quest to build a microscope that could "see" individual atoms in three dimensions.
