As a spectroscopic method, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has seen spectacular growth since the 1980s, both as a technique and in its applications. Today the applications of NMR span a wide range of scientific disciplines, from physics to biology to medicine. Each volume of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance comprises a combination of annual and biennial reports which together provide comprehensive coverage of the literature on this topic. Volume 32 covers literature published from June 2001 to May 2002, reflecting the growing volume of published work involving NMR techniques and applications, in particular NMR of natural macromolecules which is covered in two reports: NMR of Proteins and Nucleic Acids and NMR of Carbohydrates, Lipids and Membranes . For those wanting to become rapidly acquainted with specific areas of NMR, this title provides a wide scope of coverage. Seasoned practitioners of NMR should find this a useful source of current methods and applications.
