title: Studying posttranslational modifications by in-cell NMR.
abstract: Functional in vivo investigation of posttranslational modifications is a problem that a number of analytical techniques are trying to tackle. Below, we briefly discuss the breakthroughs and challenges in placing NMR spectroscopy on the map, as illustrated by a recent report by Selenko et al. (2008).
