NMRlib: user-friendly pulse sequence tools for Bruker NMR spectrometers.

Area of Science:

• Chemistry
• Spectroscopy
• Biophysics

Background:

• Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique for molecular structure determination.
• Efficient management and execution of NMR experiments are crucial for research productivity.
• Existing NMR software can be complex and spectrometer-specific.

Purpose of the Study:
