✦ Synopsis

Thanks to the vast progress made in the investigation of biomolecules using NMR during the later 1990s, NMR spectroscopy offers a universal tool for examining the binding of an active substance to its target protein. Its use also benefits the development of drugs in particular. Content: Part I: Basic techniques -- Modern methods for the expression of proteins in isotopically enriched form / Heiko Patzelt ...
