title: Kurt Wüthrich and NMR of biological macromolecules.
abstract: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the only experimental technique that can determine the structures and dynamics of biological macromolecules and their complexes in solution and with atomic resolution. The award of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Kurt Wüthrich of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and The Scripps Research Institute honors his pioneering efforts in developing and applying this technique. Wüthrich shared the prize with John B. Fenn and Koichi Tanaka, who were recognized for the development of ionization methods for the analysis of proteins using mass spectrometry.
