In-cell NMR: From target structure and dynamics to drug screening

The cellular environment can affect the structure and function of pharmacological targets and the interaction with potential drugs. Such complexity is often overlooked in the first steps of drug design, where compounds are screened and optimized in vitro, leading to high failure rates in the pre-clinical and clinical tests. In-cell NMR spectroscopy has the potential to fill this gap, as it allows structural studies of proteins and nucleic acids directly in living cells, from bacteria to...
