Recent technological advances in NMR methods and instrumentation are having a significant impact in structural biology. These innovations are also impacting pharmaceutical biotechnology as it is now possible to use NMR spectroscopy to rapidly characterize a growing number of prospective protein drugs and protein drug targets. This review provides a general summary of how solution-state NMR can be used to determine protein structures. It also focuses on exploring how advances in solution state NMR are changing the way in which protein structures can be determined and protein-ligand interactions can be characterized. Recent innovations in protein sample preparation, in instrumentation and data collection, in spectral assignment and in structure generation are highlighted. The impact of solution-state NMR on pharmaceutical biotechnology is also discussed, with a special emphasis on describing how NMR has been used to study a number of pharmaceutically important proteins and how NMR is currently being used to rapidly screen and to map the binding sites of small molecules to a range of protein targets.

Abstract
Drug discovery is a complex and costly endeavor, where few drugs that reach the clinical testing phase make it to market. High-throughput screening (HTS) is the primary method used by the pharmaceutical industry to identify initial lead compounds. Unfortunately, HTS has a high failure rate and is not particularly efficient at...

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...

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...

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...
