For proteomics folks who gamble with their careers by promising discovery of protein function from NMR structures that may not look like any known proteins.
Find the best structural matches in a protein database
"It uses both sequence- and structure-based methods to try to provide clues as the the protein's likely or possible function. Often, where one method fails to provide any functional insight another may be more helpful."

Abstract
The plasma membrane functions as a semi-permeable barrier, defining the interior (or cytoplasm) of an individual cell. This highly dynamic and complex macromolecular assembly comprises predominantly lipids and proteins held together by entropic forces and...

Detailed, superficial approach to finding new drugs
Detailed, superficial approach to finding new drugs
An international team has used NMR spectroscopy to study neglected regions of key cell-surface proteins. They have found that these regions undergo minute conformational changes in response to drugs, a finding that could ultimately prove useful in the design of new drugs for a range of diseases.
