The central region of the cyanobacterial cell is less colorful than the chromatoplasm; it is called the centroplasm. This region includes the nucleoid or nucleoplasm but should not be confused with a true nucleus. There is no nuclear envelope and no true nucleus in any cyanobacterium; all species are strictly prokaryotic. The region is less colorful because of the lack of thylakoids, but it is certainly not empty. 2, record 8, English, - centroplasm

The extensive use of NMR in molecular structure determinations arises from the slight shift in the resonance frequency of an atom - commonly that of a proton - due to the environment of neighboring atoms.

Les raies spectrales correspondantes qui se trouvent dans le domaine hertzien pour des champs de quelques milliers de gauss permettent d'atteindre deux grandeurs moléculaires importantes : les déplacements chimiques (...) qui sont dus à la création de champs magnétiques locaux, légèrement différents du champ magnétique appliqué, liés au moment diamagnétique induit de la molécule. La méthode est très sensible à de toutes petites modifications de ce champ local, de telle sorte que les raies de résonance de chaque noyau dépendent fortement de leur environnement chimique. 2, record 10, French, - d%C3%A9placement%20chimique
