Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful analytical tool to study the molecules with an atomic level of information. NMR is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for molecular, structural and other information. For instance, it has been instrumental in the development of new drugs by providing insights into their molecular structures. From small biomolecules, metabolites, and impurities, NMR spectroscopy plays a pivotal role in the fields of research, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and life science. So, what are the uses of NMR spectroscopy? Let’s delve into the variety of applications of NMR spectroscopy in different fields.
What is Nuclear Magnetic Spectroscopy (NMR)?
Nuclear Magnetic Spectroscopy (NMR) is a specialized form of spectroscopy that determines the molecular identity, structure and behaviour of chemical compounds and composites. NMR spectroscopy provides a detailed understanding of excipients, pharmaceutical formulations and intermolecular interactions, which is helpful in drug development.
How Does Nuclear Magnetic Spectroscopy (NMR) Work?
The concept behind NMR is the study of the atom’s chemical environment. As a matter of fact, the atom is considered to be the foundation of all matter, and it consists of electron, proton, and neutron particles. NMR analysis focuses on the nature of the atom’s nuclei, the spinning of nuclei and the properties of nuclei. Every nucleus has its own magnetic field. As follows, nuclear magnetic resonance happens when the specific nuclei in the atom’s static magnetic field experience charges from the powerful oscillating electromagnetic field. With the help of RF (Radio Frequency), through low-energy protons, the nuclei absorb higher energy levels that influence their spins. The atomic nuclei resonate in response to provide a full spectrum observation.
