Abstract
One of the most challenging areas in drug design is the area of new antibacterial drugs. Despite significant progress in target validation and screening programs, discovery of new antibacterial classes is not keeping pace with the growing threat of bacterial resistance. In this review we describe examples of the use of NMR spectroscopy methods in different phases of antibacterial drug design. First, several frequently used liquid and solid-state NMR techniques are presented, followed by a review and discussion of the application of NMR spectroscopy to the discovery of new antibacterial agents.

Biomolecular NMR spectroscopy has expanded dramatically in recent years and is now a powerful tool for the study of structure, dynamics, and interactions of biomolecules. Previous limitations with respect to molecular size are no longer a primary barrier, and systems as large as 900 kDa were recently studied. NMR spectroscopy is already...

One of the prime merits of NMR as a tool for lead finding in drug discovery research is its sensitivity and robustness to detect weak protein-ligand interactions. This sensitivity allows to build up ligands for a given target in a modular way, by a fragment-based approach. In this approach, two ligands are seperately...
