Course objectives
Introduction to basic principles of NMR spectroscopy. Theoretical concepts of classical description using the vector model as well as of quantum mechanics needed for proper understanding of multi-dimensional NMR techniques are discussed. The product operator formalism is introduced to facilitate description of basic one and two-dimensional experiments frequently used in chemical research. The acquired knowledge enables students to understand the applications of NMR spectroscopy in organic and inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, strucutural biology and biophysics.
Syllabus
  • 1. Introduction: NMR history and contemporary trends - applications of NMR to strcutural studies in liquids and solids, NMR tomography, expected developments, tour of NMR lab at NCBR 2. Basic principles: magnetic dipol, resonance condition, NMR spectrometer, Fourier spectroscopy, classical description - Bloch equations, relaxation - spin-lattice and spin- spin relaxation, Fourier transform, sensitvity 3. Spin system dynamics: basic properties of nuclear spin system, density matrix theory, matrix representaion, operators, spin Hamiltonia in Hilbert representation, average Hamiltonian theory. 4. Product operator formalism: basic principles, terminology, evolution of product operators, Hamiltnian in product basis, composite rotations, observables. 5. 1D Fourier spectroscopy: excitation sequences, spin-echo - principles, measurements of relaxtion times, polarization trasnfer, INEPT, DEPT, composite pulses, homo- and hetronuclear decoupling, plus filed gradients. 6. 2D Fourier spectroscopy: basic principles, formal theory of 2D detection, coherence pathways. 7. Basic methods of 2D spectroscopy: chemical shift correlation - COSY, dipol-dipol correlation - NOESY, phase cycles,methods for homo- and heteronuclear spin systems, spectral editing. 8. NMR apllications for structure determination of biomacromolecules: proteins and nucleic acids, structural parameters: proton distance determination, dihedral angles mesurements, mathematical reconstruction of 3D structures.
