Magnetic Resonance MSN 506 Notes
Overview • Essential magnetic resonance • Measurement of magnetic resonance • Spectroscopic information obtained by magnetic resonance • 1D • 2D Correlation and spin transfer related MR
Magnetic Resonance • Nuclei and electrons carry spin (magnetic dipole moment) g is called the gyromagnetic ratio or g-factor Nuclear magneton (unit for nuclear magnetic spins) μN = 5.050 783 × 10-27J·T-1 Bohr magneton (unit for electron magnetic spins) μB = 9.274 009 × 10-24J·T-1
Free Induction Decay • The spins that are in a non-equilibrium initial position lose energy by radiating and return to equilibrium state The released electromagnetic energy is picked up by coils
Free Induction Decay • Field generated per spin is very small • Large number of atoms/molecules (1023) can produce measurable signal if they add up coherently Bolztmann Factor Small portion of spins have net effect at room temperature Field Uniformity If B field is not uniform, spins at different locations oscillate at different frequencies Solvents should be chosen so as not to confuse the experiment
Couplings • Local magnetic field of a nuclei is affected by its surroundings Nuclei produce fields at each others location Electrons in bonds produce fields at nuclei locations Atom 2 Atom 1
Dephasing There are characteristic times for energy loss and phase loss, which can also be measured by MR
2D NMR • Measures correlations between NMR lines by pulsed excitation • Correlations indicate closely placed nuclei The complicated 1D NMR spectrum of a protein molecule does not say much about the molecular structure
