"Advanced NMR Spectroscopy" - "Université de Lille"

The NMR phenomenon is widely used in MRI to form pictures of our organs and tissues. NMR spectroscopy is also a key tool to analyze biological molecules, such as proteins and carbohydrates, as well as complex biological or chemical mixtures in metabolomics approaches. “Advanced NMR spectroscopy” is the second course of a comprehensive three-part online learning program on NMR. It aims at providing the participants with advanced knowledge about NMR. In particular, it presents tools and concepts such as product operators, coherence selection, and relaxation needed to understand how NMR techniques work, as well as specific techniques used to analyze particular samples, such as proteins, carbohydrates and mixtures of metabolites, or to acquire MRI images. This course is intended for undergraduate and graduate students as well as educators and professionals who wish to deepen their understanding of NMR experiments. At the end of this course, you will be able to: - understand how liquid-state NMR experiments work; - find out how NMR can analyze biological macromolecules and mixtures of metabolites; - discover the principles to acquire MRI images.
