Description:
NMR spectroscopy in Molecular Biology has - ever since the first NMR structures surprised the world - witnessed a perpetual development both in technology and in methodology. The TROSY experiment and the use of residual dipolar coupling were recently new tools in NMR spectroscopy for studies of structure and function of biological systems with increasing complexity. Since they were presented to the community, they have been extensively used, and the results of this work are now having important impacts in Molecular Biology. In Molecular Biology the successful conclusion of many genome projects has increased the demand for structure determination and functional analysis of an increasing number of proteins, RNAs and DNAs. The potential of NMR spectroscopy in structural and functional studies in solution of these biological molecules gives the technique a very important role in life science.

The conference will be devoted to presenting the most recent developments of NMR spectroscopy in Molecular Biology.

The main aspects to be discussed are:

Latest developments in NMR methodology; Structure and function of protein-RNA and protein-DNA complexes; Structure and function of membrane proteins; Structure and function of modular proteins; Structure and functions of metalloproteins; Protein folding; Protein dynamics; NMR in structural genomics.
