In the past several decades solution NMR spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful technique for the study of the structure and dynamics of proteins, providing detailed insights into biomolecular function. Herein I provide a summary of two important areas of application, focusing on NMR studies of (i) supra-molecular systems with aggregate molecular masses in the hundreds of kDa and of (ii) sparsely populated and transiently formed protein states that are thermally accessible from populated ground state conformations. The critical role of molecular dynamics in function is emphasized, highlighting the utility of the NMR technique in providing such often elusive information. Graphical abstract

Some cartoon views of proteins shown in PyMOL
Example of cartoon modes of protein shown by PyMOL Example protein: 1UA8, LolA By default, the cartoon mode in PyMOL shows protein structure like this way: We can change the background to white by typing “bg_color white” in the command terminal and also change the color of protein based on types of secondary structures in http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kpwu.wordpress.com&blog=76132&post=526&subd=kpwu&ref=&feed=1
