Protein NMR for the Millennium

Dr. N. Rama Krishna is Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics and the Director of the NMR Core Facility at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He has previously served as Guest Editor for Volumes 16 (Modern Techniques in Protein NMR, 1998) and Volume 17 (Structure Computation and Dynamics in Protein NMR, 1999). Dr. Lawrence J. Berliner is currently Professor and Chair of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Denver after retiring from Ohio State University, where he spent a 32-year career in the area of biological magnetic resonance (EPR and NMR). He is the Series Editor for Biological Magnetic Resonance, which he launched in 1979.

'The book is generally easy to read for those with an appreciable knowledge of protein NMR spectroscopy. [...]presents a timely review of many recently developed techniques for the study of large proteins by NMR spectroscopy. We highly recommend it as a reference for anyone with an active interest in this field.' Journal of the American Chemical Society, 125:51 (2003)
