DOI: 10.1007/s10858-017-0146-1
Abstract: In the case of soluble proteins, chemical shift mapping is used to identify the intermolecular interfaces when the NOE-based calculations of spatial structure of the molecular assembly are impossible or impracticable. However, the reliability of… read more here.
