Applications of nuclear magnetic resonance to determine the structure and interactions of ligands, peptides and enzymes

Biol Res. 1996;29(1):141-63.

Abstract

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is emerging as a powerful tool for the study of enzyme structure and function. This article discusses the general principles of NMR and the potential information this technique can provide in the study of enzymes along with its limitations.
