NMR, C. Brevard and P. Granger.
Part One, comprising 77 pages, reviews briefly the meaning of NMR parameters, relaxation mechanisms, some aspects of the choice of spectral acquisition conditions, and methods for dynamic measurements. In this space not enough detail can be given about these matters to provide much help to the novice, but there are some useful reminders for the NMR spectroscopist. In Part Two, two pages are assigned to the nuclides of each element from 2 = 1 to 2 = 83 having magnetic nuclei, with the exception of those species such as carbon- 13 commonly studied by NMR. A typical sample is given for each of the nuclides, together with the resonance frequency referred to the proton resonance of TMS as 100 MHz and a picture of the spectrum with its linewidth and the conditions of acquisition. Properties of each nuclide, including spin, natural abundance, and gyromagnetic ratio, are tabulated. Where available, ranges of chemical shifts, coupling constants, and relaxation times are given for the nuclide. One or two literature references are provided, as well as remarks about special features of nuclear behavior. For example, for “‘Te, the large effects of temperature and structure on chemical shifts are pointed out, and the lack of NOE is noted. This book should be extremely useful to anyone who undertakes the observation of a nuclear species with which he is inexperienced, and indeed to anyone wishing to evaluate the feasibility of such observation. Its modest price should permit it to be beside every multinuclear NMR spectrometer. W.S.B. Biological Magnetic Resonance, Vol. 3, edited by L. J. Berliner and J. Reuben. Plenum Press, New York, 1981. 268 pages. $35.00 ($42.00 outside U.S.A.). The third volume in the continuing series “Biological Magnetic Resonance” has five chapters which, with one exception, deal with magnetic resonance of metalloproteins. In general, the chapters are referenced well, although in two cases mentioned below the references are not current. The figures presented are adequate and clear. In one chapter, rather more inorganic chemistry than is warranted is presented. In chapter one, Keller and Wtithrich discuss multiple-irradiation ‘H-NMR experiments with hemoproteins. The chapter is divided into three sections. The first is an introduction, including a statement that the purpose of the review is to discuss “application of modern high resolution NMR to studies of the structural features of hemoproteins.” The second section notes the need for a review focusing on more 527 0022-2364/82/090527-03$02.00/O Copyright 0 1982 by Academic Prcas.
