Metabolomics - Different technologies - NMR

4 important questions on Metabolomics - Different technologies - NMR

What is nuclear magnetic resonance?

  • Waar kom je achter: full structure of small molecules aanwezig zijn en hoeveel.
  • Vergelijk met MRI-scan
  • Je plaatst de moleculen in een magnetisch veld
  • Je geeft een RF signal
  • They move
  • This move is specific -> you get a radio signal

What is a unique characteristic of NMR?

You can study: dynamic studies of molecules in solution, e.g. protein-small molecule interactions
  • how they move
  • change conformations
  • how strong they bind. 

Why can't Mass Spectrometry do this?

NMR can look at molecules in a solution
MS looks a separate molecules in a vaccum.
  • Higher grades + faster learning
  • Never study anything twice
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding

Name a kind of NMR?
Name what important is in reading the signals? (3)

1H NMR.

  • Chemical shifts for equivalent protons (often 1 molecule -> often several signals) => piek positie zegt iets over het soort H atoom, CH3 bijvoorbeeld. Of aromaten.
  • Splitting patterns => how many buren. Triplet, quartet.
  • Different intensities (relating to number of protons)

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
