Nature News: Breaking the protein rules
One of the textbook concepts in molecular biology is that proteins fold up spontaneously to form the most energetically stable three-dimensional structures. These folded proteins are presumed structurally rigid, which is important for their unique functionality, e.g. as enzymes. There are indications, however, mostly coming from NMR studies, that many important proteins exist in disordered form. A news feature in the latest issue of Nature discusses implications of this potentially far-reaching finding. Among cited examples of intrinsically...

Advances in protein NMR have opened new doors for the understanding of macromolecular structure and interactions. Isotope-labelling approaches have extended the size limit for structure determination, the mapping of protein-ligand interactions is...

Structure 2010, The Faulkner Rules, and a Philosophical Basis of Structural Elucidation
I was fortunate enough to attend the inaugural Structure 2010 conference in Leicestershire, UK last week. This was a terrific event that focused on the structure elucidation of small molecules. The program for this conference was outstanding. Unfortunately I didn't...

Structural Biology Scores With Protein Snapshot
(July 12, 2009) -- Investigators have used nuclear magnetic resonance methods to determine the structure of the largest membrane-spanning protein to date. The group's ability to determine the NMR structure of the bacterial protein diacylglycerol kinase, reported in the journal Science, suggests that similar methods can now be used to study the stru
