In the half-century since its discovery, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has become the single most powerful form of spectroscopy in both chemistry and structural biology. The dramatic technical advances over the past 10-15 years, which continue apace, have markedly increased the range of applications for NMR in the study of protein-ligand interactions. These form the basis for its most exciting uses in the drug discovery process, which range from the simple identification of whether a compound (or a component of a mixture) binds to a given protein, through to the determination of the full three-dimensional structure of the complex, with all the information this yields for structure-based drug design.

The field of NMR spectroscopy has grown beyond expectations from the first historic observation of nuclear magnetic resonance in 1946 by Bloch and Purcell, to the first generation of protein structures 20 years ago, to the present where NMR structures now represent 15 to 20% of those submitted to the Protein Data Bank (PDB). However, the applications of NMR go far...

NMR methods in drug discovery have traditionally been used to obtain structural information for drug targets or target-ligand complexes. Recently, it has been shown that NMR may be used as an alternative approach for identification of ligands that bind to protein drug targets, shifting the emphasis...
