Summary of Meeting
Over the past several decades Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has become an indispensable tool in structural and molecular biology, with most recent contributions to genomics, proteomics and metabolomics. Advances in NMR technology would not be possible without our continued efforts to develop new methodologies and applications. This symposium will focus on the latest technological advances in NMR spectroscopy as well as recent biological discoveries made through NMR studies. Emphasis will be placed on the investigation of large biological systems, membrane proteins, folding and dynamics, and transient states of enzymatic reactions or protein interactions. As such, those using NMR have been extending its application to more complex and challenging systems in combination with other biophysical tools such as X-ray crystallography and electron microscopy. The purpose of this symposium is to provide a forum for discussion on these and other new trends in biological NMR.
