Experimental approaches to protein structure [1] X-ray crystallography -- Used to determine 80% of structures -- Requires high protein concentration -- Requires crystals -- Able to trace amino acid side chains -- Earliest structure solved was myoglobin [2] NMR -- Magnetic field applied to proteins in solution -- Largest structures: 350 amino acids (40 kD) -- Does not require crystallization
