Chien, S; Chien, H

This volume explores the applications of NMR in basic biological research and in clinical diagnosis. The contributors highlight the capabilities of NMR as a tool for studying living organisms at the molecular and cellular levels and detecting abnormalities in various organ systems. Included are solid-state and high-resolution NMR studies of the molecular structure and dynamic interactions of lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. The latest developments in NMR zeugmatographic imaging and in musculoskeletal and cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging are detailed. Concluding chapters review the uses of in vivo NMR spectroscopy to study energy metabolism and cellular biochemistry. Emphasis is placed on in vivo NMR spectroscopy studies that elucidate normal metabolic functions and their pathological disturbances.
