When the forum is active we will discuss topics such as:

The evolving role of NMR in drug discovery and development;

Methodology to produce “difficult” samples that may not crystallize (eg: cell-free, protein-RNA, membrane proteins);

A rigorous appraisal of software for assignment and structure calculation;

A “journal club” where members can post a short critique on interesting papers for discussion.

Participants can of course suggest new topics! Structural biology is a very exciting field especially in the context of mechanistic studies of biomolecular function by molecular and cell biology techniques informed by X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM in addition to NMR. Hopefully this forum will be of some use in identifying and discussing interesting problems where NMR can make a unique and complementary contribution.

Please invite anyone you know who might be interested to join the group.
