Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a very versatile analytical technique, which relies on the regular motion (precession) of atomic nuclei when exposed to
strong magnetic fields. Since the magnetic field at the nucleus is affected by its immediate surroundings, the nuclear precession frequency contains
valuable information about the chemical nature of the molecule the nucleus belongs to. This can be exploited to study the structure of molecules,
their reactions, and how they are assembled into proteins and other building blocks of life.
