Proton (¹H) NMR: Chemical Shift01:07

Proton (¹H) NMR: Chemical Shift

3.2K
Organic molecules primarily contain carbon and hydrogen atoms. While all the hydrogen isotopes are NMR-active, protium or hydrogen-1 is the most abundant. It has a significant energy separation between its nuclear spin states due to its large gyromagnetic ratio. As per Boltzmann's distribution, an increase in the energy separation implies a greater excess population of nuclei available for excitation, resulting in a strong NMR absorption signal.
Absorption signals of all the protium nuclei...

Frequency-dependent Selection01:21

Frequency-dependent Selection

23.1K
When the fitness of a trait is influenced by how common it is (i.e., its frequency) relative to different traits within a population, this is referred to as frequency-dependent selection. Frequency-dependent selection may occur between species or within a single species. This type of selection can either be positive—with more common phenotypes having higher fitness—or negative, with rarer phenotypes conferring increased fitness.

What is an Experiment?

17.4K
An experiment is a planned activity carried out under controlled conditions. The purpose of an experiment is to investigate the relationship between two variables. When one variable causes change in another, we call the first variable the explanatory or independent variable. The affected variable is called the response or dependent variable. In a randomized experiment, the researcher manipulates values of the explanatory variable and measures the resulting changes in the response variable. The...

¹H NMR of Labile Protons: Temporal Resolution01:10

¹H NMR of Labile Protons: Temporal Resolution

1.7K
Protons bonded to heteroatoms such as nitrogen and oxygen exhibit a range of chemical shift values. This is due to the varying degree of hydrogen bonding between the proton and the heteroatom in other molecules. The extent of hydrogen bonding affects the electron density around the proton, thereby giving different chemical shift values for the protons in the proton NMR spectrum.
The –OH proton in alcohols typically appears in the range of δ 2 to 5 ppm but can vary depending on the specific...

¹H NMR of Labile Protons: Deuterium (²H) Substitution

1.3K
This lesson illustrates the role of deuterium substitution in simplifying the NMR spectrum of compounds comprising labile protons. One method employed is the use of deuterium. Amongst the three isotopes of hydrogen, deuterium (2H) has a nucleus composed of one proton and one neutron. When the D2O solvent is added to a pure dry ethanol solution, its labile proton is substituted with deuterium.

Area of Science:

  • Radiobiology
  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Dosimetry

Background:

  • Proton radiation therapy requires precise dose determination in biological tissues.
  • The Bragg peak phenomenon in proton energy deposition necessitates accounting for medium thickness.
  • Accurate absorbed dose measurements in cellular components (cytoplasm, nucleus) are critical for radiobiological experiments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a calibration method for determining medium-thickness-dependent proton doses in cellular components.
  • To investigate the influence of medium thickness on proton dose absorption in radiobiological experiments.
  • To establish relationships between calibration coefficient R and medium layer thickness for various proton energies.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the MCNPX (Monte Carlo N-Particle eXtended) code version 2.4.0 for dose determination.
  • Calculated the ratio R (DA/DE) where DA is absorbed dose in cellular components and DE is absorbed dose in a detector.
  • Examined proton energies from 10 to 35 MeV and medium thicknesses up to 5000 μm.

Main Results:

  • Established R-vs-medium-layer-thickness relationships for specified proton energies.
  • Observed Bragg-peak-like features in R-vs-thickness relationships for lower proton energies (10-20 MeV).
  • Reported high R values (>7 for cytoplasm, >6 for nucleus) at lower energies, emphasizing thickness dependency.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed calibration method effectively determines medium-thickness-dependent proton doses in cellular components.
  • Medium thickness significantly influences proton dose deposition, especially near the Bragg peak.
  • Accurate consideration of medium thickness is essential for reliable radiobiological experiment outcomes.
