Structure and Biophysics ? New Technologies for Current Challenges in Biology and Beyond

This volume is a collection of articles from the ISSBMR 7th Course: Structure and Biophysics - New Technologies for Current Challenges in Biology and Beyond. This NATO Advanced Institute (ASI) was held at the Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture in Sicily. The ASI brought together a diverse group of experts in the fields of Structural Biology, Biophysics and Physics. Prominent lecturers, from seven different countries, and students from around the world participated. The session addressed the treatment and detection of bioterrorism agents, and focused on critical partner country priorities in biotechnology, materials and drug discovery.

The range of topics represents the diversity of critical problems between structural biology, biochemistry and biophysics, in which lies the fertile ground of drug development, biotechnology and new materials.

The papers presented here offer state of the art information on NMR spectroscopy, and its place in the broader field of biophysics.
