  1. 1. Deuterium isotopomers as a tool in environmental research

    Author : Tatiana Betson; Jürgen Schleucher; Peter Högberg; Richard Robins; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; deuterium; NMR; isotopomers; CO2 response; climate reconstruction; persistent pollutants; stable isotopes; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the development and the use of quantitative deuterium Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR) as a tool in two areas of environmental research: the study of long term climate-plant interactions and the source tracking of persistent organic pollutant. Long-term interactions between plants and climate will influence climate change during this century and beyond, but cannot be studied in manipulative experiments. READ MORE

  2. 2. Water Relaxation Processes as Seen by NMR Spectroscopy Using MD and BD Simulations

    Author : Ken Åman; Per-Olof Westlund; Arnold Maliniak; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical chemistry; NMR; Stochastic Liouville Equation; Brownian Dynamics; Molecular Dynamics; Water; Relaxation; Deuterium; ESR; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry; fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis describes water proton and deuterium relaxation processes, as seen by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, using Brownian Dynamics (BD) or Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. The MD simulations reveal new detailed information about the dynamics and order of water molecules outside of a lipid bilayer. READ MORE

  3. 3. NMR Investigations of Host-Guest Complexes and Their Dynamic Properties

    Author : Zdenek Tosner; Jozef Kowalewski; Josef Stepanek; Klaus Muller; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; supramolecular chemistry; host-guest complexes; non-covalent interactions; nuclear magnetic resonance; molecular motion; C-13 relaxation; deuterium NMR; dipolar recoupling; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis discusses several different methods offered by solution and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance for investigation of host-guest complexes and their constituents. The presented methods were used especially (but not exclusively) to address rotational dynamics of the bound guest in different molecular systems. READ MORE

  4. 4. Cellulose-water interaction: a spectroscopic study

    Author : Erik L Lindh; István Furó; Lennart Salmén; Lisbeth G Thygesen; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cellulose; water; hydrogen exchange; deuterium; NMR spectroscopy; FT-IR spectroscopy; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The human society of today has a significantly negative impact on the environment and needs to change its way of living towards a more sustainable path if to continue to live on a healthy planet. One path is believed to be an increased usage of naturally degradable and renewable raw materials and, therefore, attention has been focused on the highly abundant biopolymer cellulose. READ MORE

  5. 5. NMR studies of metabolites and xenobiotics : From time-points to long-term metabolic regulation

    Author : Ina Ehlers; Jürgen Schleucher; Farquhar Graham; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NMR spectroscopy; isotopomer; phospholipid; persistent organic pollutant; CO2 fertilization; photorespiration;

    Abstract : Chemical species carry information in two dimensions, in their concentrations and their isotopic signatures. The concentrations of metabolites or synthetic compounds describe the composition of a chemical or biological system, while isotopic signatures describe processes in the system by their reaction pathways, regulation, and responses to external stimuli.
