Protein NMR for the Millennium

Protein NMR for the Millennium is the third volume in a special thematic series devoted to the latest developments in protein NMR under the Biological Magnetic Resonance umbrella. This book is divided into three major sections dealing with significant recent advances in the study of large proteins in solution and solid state, structure refinement, and screening of bioactive ligands.
Key Features:

• TROSY,
• Segmental isotope labeling of proteins,
• Hydrogen bond scalar couplings,
• Structure refinement based on residual dipolar couplings,
• Written by the world's foremost experts who have provided broad leadership in advancing the protein NMR field.

Dr. N. Rama Krishna is Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics and the Director of the NMR Core Facility at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He has previously served as Guest Editor for Volumes 16 (Modern Techniques in Protein NMR, 1998) and Volume 17 (Structure Computation and Dynamics in Protein NMR, 1999). Dr. Lawrence J. Berliner is currently Professor and Chair of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Denver after retiring from Ohio State University, where he spent a 32-year career in the area of biological magnetic resonance (EPR and NMR). He is the Series Editor for Biological Magnetic Resonance, which he launched in 1979.
