For a quarter of a century X-ray diffraction in single crystals was unique in its ability to solve three-dimensional structures of proteins and nucleic acids at atomic resolution. The situation changed in 1984 with the completion of a protein structure determination by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in solution, and today NMR is a second widely used method for biomacromolecular structure determination. This review describes the method of NMR structure determination of biological macromolecules, and attempts to place NMR structure determination in perspective with X-ray crystallography. NMR is most powerful for studies of relatively small systems with molecular weights up to about 30000, but these structures can be obtained in near-physiological milieus. The two techniques have widely different time scales which afford different insights into internal molecular mobility as well as different views of protein or nucleic acid molecular surfaces and hydration. Generally, in addition to information on the average three-dimensional structure, NMR provides information on a wide array of short-lived transient conformational states. Combining information from the two methods can yield a more detailed insight into the structural basis of protein and nucleic acid functions, and thus provide a more reliable platform for rational drug design and the engineering of novel protein functions.

Abstract
Protein domain family PF09905 (DUF2132) is a family of small domains of unknown function that are conserved in a wide range of bacteria. Here we describe the solution NMR structure of the 80-residue VF0530 protein from Vibrio fischeri,...

The NMR restraints grid at BMRB for 5,266 protein and nucleic acid PDB entries
Abstract Several pilot experiments have indicated that improvements in older NMR structures can be expected by applying modern software and new protocols (Nabuurs et al. in Proteins 55:483â??186, 2004; Nederveen et al. in Proteins 59:662â??672, 2005; Saccenti and Rosato in J Biomol NMR 40:251â??261, 2008). A recent large scale X-ray study also has shown that modern software can significantly improve the quality of X-ray structures that were deposited more than a few years ago (Joosten et al. in J. Appl...

Protein-DNA and protein-RNA complexes play key functional roles in every living organism. Therefore, the elucidation of their structure and dynamics is an important goal of structural and molecular biology.
