about

Aminoacidic Resonances is the first of a series of compositions based on chemical sound samples. This work is based on samples of aminoacids’ sounds (detected through H-NMR and converted back into sound using a MATLAB script) and sinewave generators.
The whole work is inspired by the wonderful world of organic chemistry and pure resonance.

Amino acids are a class of important biomolecules containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.
This class of biomolecules is extremely important since they are proteins building blocks and they are involved in essential biochemical processes such as Gene expression. During translation, which is the second major step in gene expression, the mRNA is "read" according to the genetic code, which relates the DNA sequence to the amino acid sequence in proteins.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the principal techniques used to obtain physical, chemical, electronic and structural information about molecules due to the chemical shift of the resonance frequencies of the nuclear spins in the sample. Free induction decay is the observable NMR signal generated by non-equilibrium nuclear spin magnetization precessing about the magnetic field. This non-equilibrium magnetization can be induced, generally by applying a pulse of resonant radio-frequency; FID are the recording of a molecule hit by a strong radio pulse.
