Use of high-resolution magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy for in situ studies of low-molecular-mass compounds in red algae.

The use of high-resolution magic angle spinning NMR spectroscopy for in situ studies of low-molecular-mass compounds in red algae has been studied. The impact of different acquisition parameters on the resulting T(2)-filtered one-dimensional high-resolution magic angle spinning (1)H NMR spectra is described. The technique was used for in situ identification and quantification of some low-molecular-mass algal metabolites. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.
