NMR Studies of Biopolymers
edited by Anne McDermott, Tatyana Polenova Hardcover: 592 pages Publisher: Wiley; September 2010 Language: English ISBN: 978-0470721223 http://www.amazon.com/dp/0470721227 http://www.amazon.ca/dp/0470721227 |
Wiley: "The field of solid state NMR of biological samples has blossomed recently, requiring new practitioners in industry and academia to have fundamental understanding of this technology. Discussed are Solid State NMR methods for studying structure dynamics and ligand-binding in biopolymers as well as RF pulse sequences for various applications, including not only a systematic catalog but also a discussion of theoretical tools for analysis of pulse sequences. Including practical examples of biochemical applications, this dependable EMR handbook thoroughly examines a field sure to expand in the years ahead."
