Outline of Final Research Achievements

Molecular replacement method is a key technique to accelerate the protein structure determination by X-ray crystallography. For NMR, no such method is available, and thus, it still takes time to determine protein structure. In this research, we have developed an NMR method to accelerate the protein structure determination. Our method is based on software MagRO and FLYA/CYANA developed by Prof Kobayashi and Prof Guentert, and validated by some NMR parameters, including RDC values. Finally, we have succeeded to determine protein structure fully automatically within half day.
