Structure determination of protein?RNA complexes in solution provides unique insights into factors that are involved in protein/RNA recognition. Here, we review the methodology used in our laboratory to overcome the challenges of protein?RNA structure determination by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). We use as two examples complexes recently solved in our laboratory, the nucleolin RBD12/b2NRE and Rnt1p dsRBD/snR47h complexes. Topics covered are protein and RNA preparation, complex formation, identification of the protein/RNA interface, protein and RNA resonance assignment, intermolecular NOE assignment, and structure calculation and analysis.
