Liquid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is an invaluable tool to gain atomic-resolution insights onto molecular structure and dynamics. The impact of NMR spectroscopy, however, is curtailed by high costs and hard-to-maintain high-field magnets. While low-field benchtop NMR spectrometers may address the challenge, severe trade-offs in sensitivity and resolution limit the appeal of this avenue. Here, we introduce a set of novel optically enhanced NMR pulse sequences and procedures (hyperpolarization toolkit) to readily generate 13C and 1H nuclear-spin hyperpolarization in situ on benchtop spectrometers. This approach leads to unprecedented sensitivity gains, enabling atomic-resolution conformation-dependent detection of a broad range of aromatic compounds, including clinically relevant metabolites and biomarkers. Neurotransmitters including epinephrine, serotonin and melatonin are detected at nanomolar/micromolar levels by 1D/2D photochemically-enhanced benchtop NMR in buffer and physiological media including human serum. This advance propels benchtop NMR from a predominantly pedagogical tool to a powerful bioanalytical resource for efficient neurotransmitter identification.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
