Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy can be used to quickly identify a biomarker for the presence of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB, the so-called "date rape" drug) in a biological sample from a putative victim of crime. Details are reported in the American Chemical Society's journal Analytical Chemistry.

NMR in the Movies? How to Secure a Date with Minnie Driver
I was flying home from Europe yesterday and was watching the Oscar award-winning movie "Good Will Hunting" starring Matt Damon, Robin Williams, Ben Affleck, and Minnie Driver: One thing I missed the first time I saw the movie, was a...

The identification of drug metabolites in biofluids such as urine, plasma and bile is an important step in drug discovery and development. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H-NMR) spectroscopy can provide detailed information regarding the structural transformation of a compound as a consequence of metabolism. However, successful identification of drug...

Small molecules against Ebola: NMR reveals drug leads
Small molecules against Ebola: NMR reveals drug leads
There is neither vaccine nor cure for the Ebola virus, which causes fatal haemorrhagic fever in humans. However, a new NMR spectroscopic study by US researchers scientists has led to the discovery of a family of small molecules that apparently bind to the outer protein coat of the virus and halt its entry into human cells, so offering the possibility of an antiviral medication against the disease.
