Abstract

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was discovered around 1945 as a method to determine the magnetic properties of atomic nuclei. In 1952, the Nobel Prize was awarded to Bloch and Purcell for their independent work in developing NMR. It is still successfully applied as a tool in molecular physics and chemistry, revealing molecular structures, chemical reaction rates and diffusion processes. In biochemistry, NMR has made contributions to elucidating the structure of cell membranes, nucleic acids, proteins and viruses. Especially interesting from the medical point of view are in vivo proton, phosphorus and carbon spectra.
