Reseña del editor

This volume is a collection of articles from the proceedings of the International School of Structural Biology and Magnetic Resonance 3rd Course: Protein Dynamics, Function, and Design. This NATO Advance Study Institute was held in Erice at the Ettore Majorana Centre for Scientific Culture on April 16-28, 1997. The aim of the Institute was to bring together experts applyipg different physical methods to problems of macro- molecular dynamics-notably x-ray diffraction, NMR and other forms of spectroscopy, and molecular dynamics simulations. Emphasis was placed on those systems and types of problems-such as mechanisms of allosteric control, signal transmission, induced fit to different ligands with its implications for drug design, and the effects of dynamics on structure determination-where a correlation of findings obtained by different methods could shed the most light on the mechanisms involved and stimulate the search for new approaches. The individual articles represent the state of the art in each of the areas cov- ered and provide a guide to the original literature in this rapidly developing field. v CONTENTS 1.

Reseña del editor

This book offers a survey of the current state of research worldwide on the interactions and dynamics of large bilogical molecules such as DNA and proteins and on the effects of dynamics upon structure determination. Authors from renowned laboratories and institutions discuss new findings and new directions for the greater understanding of the interactions of molecules to create life-processes. Although the topics covered in the book require a relatively advanced understanding of current biomedical/biochemical and biophysical science, the overall range of expertise and focus provides a broad survey of experimental techniques and approaches to the problem of understanding molecular recognition and interaction and the potential for drug design and development.
