Abstract
In this chapter we shall describe basic NMR experiments used in the fields of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Biology. The topics of acquisition and processing of simple 1D-NMR spectra will be introduced, as well as the fundamental principles behind n-dimensional NMR experiments. For 2D-NMR, some homonuclear and heteronuclear shift correlation experiments based on scalar couplings are shown. The basis of the population transfer that is at the root of heteronuclear experiments is described. The chapter ends with the most relevant nuclear correlations via dipolar couplings, based on the NOE effect.
