Abstract
Despite the advances in NMR theory and the introduction of modern pulsed 1D and 2D techniques, our knowledge of the conformation and dynamics of biopolymers in solution is still in its infancy. Although we can study dynamics by a variety of techniques it is true to say that for no single polypeptide or protein do we know the full structure and dynamics, especially the latter; we need to know the modes, frequencies, phases and amplitudes of the different motions and how they are coupled.
