Determination of DNA and Protein Structures in Solution via Complete Relaxation Matrix Analysis of 2D NOE Spectra

  • Chapter
NMR Applications in Biopolymers

Part of the book series: Basic Life Sciences ((BLSC,volume 56))

Abstract

A major objective of scientists for years has been the determination of molecular structures in non-crystalline environments. In general, researchers were forced to accept limited structural information due to the techniques available; certainly high-resolution structures such as those derived from x-ray diffraction (XRD) on crystals could not be remotely attained. However, recent developments provide us with the means to obtain considerable insight into solution structures (with resolution approaching, but not equaling, that of XRD on crystals).
