The NMR principle is widely applied in structural biology, biomedical research and clinical diagnosis. This conference will highlight progress in solution and solid state NMR methods and recent advances in selected NMR applications in metabolic profiling, drug research, protein/ nucleic acid interactions, in-cell NMR, intrinsically disordered proteins and the study of membrane proteins. Attendees will obtain an overview of the principal advances made during the last four years with the use of NMR techniques in structural biology and biomedical research, and receive guidance on anticipated mid-term and long-term future advances with NMR applications in molecular and cell biology.
