Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) allows for the structure determination of molecules and proteins and therefore contributes fundamentally to the advancement of the biological sciences. The recent progress in the control of a single electron spin in Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond offers a new perspective here as it becomes possible to use optically detected magnetic resonance to read out the effect of smallest magnetic fields.
This talk presents, how to utilize the sensitivity of shallow NV centers to perform NMR-like protocols at a single molecule level, which yields information on e.g. coupling strength and spatial structure of the target molecule. Theoretical simulations demonstrate application of the protocol addressing small amino acid.
