Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique that creates detailed images of the internal structures of the body using magnetic fields and radio waves. MRI is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that provides high-quality images of soft tissues, organs, and bones without exposing patients to harmful radiation. The basic principle of MRI is to…

Circular Dichroism (CD) Technique
Circular dichroism (CD) is a powerful spectroscopic technique used to study the structure and properties of chiral molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. It is based on the differential absorption of left and right circularly polarized light by chiral molecules, which can provide information on their secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures. In this…

X-ray Diffraction Technique
The X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique is a powerful tool for studying the structure of crystalline materials. It works by shining X-rays on a crystalline material and detecting the diffracted X-rays on a detector, creating a pattern of diffraction peaks. The angle and intensity of these peaks can be used to determine the crystal structure, unit…
