NMR Spectroscopy of Peptides and Proteins

  • Protocol
Peptide Analysis Protocols

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 36))

Abstract

In recent years, a wide range of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) techniques has become available for investigating the structure of peptides and proteins in solution, and their interactions with other molecules. These powerful methods have an important role to play in furthering our knowledge of the molecular basis of such processes as protein folding and molecular recognition. NMR spectroscopy is uniquely positioned to investigate these problems, being one of the few techniques available for determining high-resolution structures of biomolecules in solution.
