Blood proteins articles from across Nature Portfolio

Blood proteins are proteins present in the blood but not associated physically with blood cells, such as serum albumin, globulins and coagulation factors. Blood proteins can function in various processes such as in transporting metabolites and metals through the bloodstream and in immune system functions.

Zero- to low-field relaxometry of chemical and biological fluids

NMR relaxometry can provide information on paramagnetic as well as diamagnetic compounds in solution by analyzing nuclear-spin relaxation times, and, operated at ultra-low magnetic fields, slow processes can be studied. Here, the authors employ zero and ultra-low magnetic fields using an atomic magnetometer as a simple, portable, robust, inexpensive, and sensitive tool to analyze chemical solutions and biofluids.
