About the lecture
In this lecture, we begin our discussion of analytical techniques by focusing on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (Topic 3.15). We learn about the fundamental principles that NMR spectroscopy relies on, such as the interaction between spinning nuclei and applied magnetic fields, causing nuclei to align with or against the magnetic field. When irradiated with radiofrequency radiation, nuclei absorb energy, flipping their alignment. This energy difference is measured as chemical shifts in parts per million on the x-axis of an NMR spectrum, revealing structural information about the molecules. Proton NMR and Carbon-13 NMR are explored as essential nuclei for analysis.
About the lecturer
Noha graduated from the School of Pharmacy in Egypt and obtained her MSc and PhD in the field of Medicinal Chemistry. She worked in teaching and research across a number of universities in Egypt and the UK. She joined the department of Natural Sciences at Chester as a lecturer in June 2018. Noha’s main focus of research activity is the discovery and development of novel small active molecules as drug candidates to compact disease with primary interest in cancer research. Her research interests include: the selective apoptosis induction in cancer cells; protein-protein interactions as cancer drug target; and the development of kinesin inhibitors as anticancer agents. At the University of Chester she teaches Chemistry Fundamentals II and Analytical Chemistry.
