During teaching NMR to students and researchers, we felt the need for a
text-book which can cover modern trends in the application of NMR to
biological systems. This book caters to the needs of: (i) graduate
students who mostly learn such techniques from senior post-docs in the
laboratory; (ii) those who are not experts in NMR but wish to understand
if a particular problem in animal, plant, medical and pharmaceutical
sciences can be answered by NMR; and (iii) those who are experts in
chemistry and biochemistry and wish to know how NMR can provide them
information on structural or functional aspect of proteins, nucleic
acids, cells and tissues, human and plant organs and other biological
materials. This book builds a means of knowledge transfer between the
beginners and the experts in NMR as applied to all aspects of life
sciences.
