During the past few years, NMR methodology for the study of nucleic acids h
as benefited from new developments that greatly improved state-of-the-art t
echnology for the precise determination of three-dimensional structures. Su
bstantial progress has been made in designing experimental protocols for th
e measurement of residual dipolar couplings, in sensitivity optimization of
triple-resonance experiments and in detection of hydrogen bonds and in dev
eloping computational methods for structure refinement using NMR restraints
.
