Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is one of the most versatile tools in scientific research, enabling detailed, non-destructive analysis of molecular structure, dynamics, and interactions across a wide range of systems. It is used extensively in chemistry, biology, materials science, and medicine to study everything from small organic molecules to complex biomacromolecules, solid-state materials, and living organisms. NMR provides atomic-level insights into chemical environments and conformational changes, supports drug discovery and metabolomics, and is essential for characterizing new materials and probing molecular mechanisms in cells and tissues. Its adaptability across solution, solid, and in vivo states makes it uniquely powerful for answering diverse scientific questions.

Overview

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is one of the most versatile tools in scientific research, enabling detailed, non-destructive analysis of molecular structure, dynamics, and interactions across a wide range of systems. It is used extensively in chemistry, biology, materials science, and medicine to study everything from small organic molecules to complex biomacromolecules, solid-state materials, and living organisms. NMR provides atomic-level insights into chemical environments and conformational changes, supports drug discovery and metabolomics, and is essential for characterizing new materials and probing molecular mechanisms in cells and tissues. Its adaptability across solution, solid, and in vivo states makes it uniquely powerful for answering diverse scientific questions.

Knowledgebase Categories

NAN KBs are organized into four thematic categories with KBs for non-experts and KB datasets available for each.

  • Bio Solids
  • Bio Solutions
  • Material Sciences
  • Metabolomics

Types of Knowledgebase Content

To translate that versatility into practice, NAN Knowledgebases (KBs) includes come in different flavors:

  • Knowledgebases for Non-Experts—Topic-focused informational KBs that introduce different ways NMR can be used to address scientific questions across disciplines.
  • Knowledgebase Datasets—well-vetted experimental datasets that include raw data, pulse programs, acquisition parameters, processing scripts, processed data, sample metadata, and protocols for sample preparation, experimental setup, and analysis. These KB datasets act as exemplars to allow users to fully recapitulate these NMR experiments on different instruments and systems.
  • Materials Periodic Table—A periodic table of isotopes providing details on the applicability of performing NMR on different isotopes in material science.

Vignettes

Vignettes are used throughout the KBs for non-experts and Materials Periodic Table to provide additional information through:

  • Content Vignettes - vignettes linked from the various Content Area pages to provide additional information on the subject.
  • Literature Vignettes - vignettes which may also be linked from the KBs for non-expert content area pages to provide concise synopses of the publications where the content area was utilized.
