Water Protons

Molecular classification: Small molecule, Inorganic molecule

Overview

Water protons refer to the hydrogen nuclei (protons) present in water molecules (H₂O). They are essential components of water and play crucial roles in acid-base chemistry, hydrogen bonding, and as a target for NMR/MRI imaging. While not a therapeutic target themselves, their concentration and distribution are influenced by various physiological and pathological conditions and can be indirectly affected by drugs.
