Discovery and structure elucidation of natural products available in infinitesimally small quantities are recognized challenge. This challenge is epitomized by the diphenazine class of molecules that contain three bridged stereocenters, several conformations, ring fusions, and multiple spatially isolated phenols. Because empirical NMR and spatial analyses using ROESY/NOESY were unsuccessful in tackling these challenges, we developed a computational pipeline to determine the relative and absolute...

Journal Highlight: Authentication of the origin of sucrose-based sugar products using quantitative natural abundance 13C NMR
http://www.spectroscopynow.com/common/images/thumbnails/154eca4d25d.jpgA direct 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) method can differentiate between sucrose-based sugar products produced from sugar beet (C3 plant) and sugar cane (C4 plant), providing an alternative to isotope ratio MS.

Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry provides structural and conformational information about complexes formed from multiple molecules. While the molecule is held together by strong intramolecular contacts like covalent bonds, supramolecular structures can be further stabilized by weaker or transient intermolecular...

A reader asked me: "What is the shape of a 2-D peak?" and my answer was: "Exponential! (in time domain)". This is all you need to know, I think. The picture should help, as always. If you are reading this blog, it means that you have something like a computer. Even the iPhone is a computer (you can run programs on it) and can display my blog. I suspect, however, that you have a better computer, like I do.
You can use your computer to run simulations and more: you can ask it to...
