Volume 16 marks the beginning of a special topic series devoted to modern techniques in protein NMR, under the Biological Magnetic Resonance series. This volume is being followed by Volume 17 with the subtitle Structure Computation and Dynamics in Protein NMR. Volumes 16 and 17 present some of the recent, significant advances in biomolecular NMR field with emphasis on developments during the last five years. We are honored to have brought together in these volumes some of the world’s foremost experts who have provided broad leadership in advancing this field. Volume 16 contains advances in two broad categories: the first, Large Proteins, Complexes, and Membrane Proteins, and second, Pulse Methods. Volume 17, which will follow covers major advances in Computational Methods, and Structure and Dynamics. In the opening chapter of Volume 16, Marius Clore and Angela Gronenborn give a brief review of NMR strategies including the use of long range restraints in the structure determination of large proteins and protein complexes. In the next two chapters, Lewis Kay and Ron Venters and their collaborators describe state-of-t- art advances in the study of perdeuterated large proteins. They are followed by Stanley Opella and co-workers who present recent developments in the study of membrane proteins. (A related topic dealing with magnetic field induced residual dipolar couplings in proteins will appear in the section on Structure and Dynamics in Volume 17).

Represents significant advances in the biomolecular NMR field, this text puts emphasis on developments during the last five years since 1993/4. The book brings together experts who have provided broad leadership in advancing the field. Volume 16 is devoted to topics on biomacromolecules and pulse methods. This volume covers important advances in the study of large proteins and protein complexes, methods involving perdeuterated large proteins, membrane proteins, advances in pulse schemes for spin decoupling and for the measurement of coupling constants and torsion angle constraints.

This book is divided into three major sections dealing with significant recent advances in the study of large proteins in solution and solid state, structure refinement and screening of bioactive ligands. Among others, it covers developments such as TROSY, segmental isotope labeling of proteins, hydrogen bond scalar couplings and structure refinement based on residual dipolar couplings. Volume 20 is the third in a special topic series devoted to the latest developments in protein NMR under the "Biological Magnetic Resonance" series. The previous two volumes were 16 (Modern Techniques in Protein NMR, 1998), and 17 (Structure Computation and Dynamics in Protein NMR, 1999). Volume 20 brings together some of the world's foremost experts who have provided broad leadership in advancing the protein NMR field.

Volume 17 is the second in a special topic series devoted to modern techniques in protein NMR, under the Biological Magnetic Resonance series. Volume 16, with the subtitle Modern Techniques in Protein NMR , is the first in this series. These two volumes present some of the recent, significant advances in the biomolecular NMR field with emphasis on developments during the last five years. We are honored to have brought together in these volume some of the world s foremost experts who have provided broad leadership in advancing this field. Volume 16 contains - vances in two broad categories: I. Large Proteins, Complexes, and Membrane Proteins and II. Pulse Methods. Volume 17 contains major advances in: I. Com- tational Methods and II. Structure and Dynamics. The opening chapter of volume 17 starts with a consideration of some important aspects of modeling from spectroscopic and diffraction data by Wilfred van Gunsteren and his colleagues. The next two chapters deal with combined automated assignments and protein structure determination, an area of intense research in many laboratories since the traditional manual methods are often inadequate or laborious in handling large volumes of NMR data on large proteins. First, Werner Braun and his associates describe their experience with the NOAH/DIAMOD protocol developed in their laboratory.
