Abstract

The review of Progress in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy demonstrated the application of the slowly relaxing local structure (SRLS) approach in structural dynamics of bio-macromolecules by NMR. SRLS was demonstrated to be a stochastic two-body coupled-rotator diffusive approach, having the potential to be generalized to three or more bodies that were coupled, along with the inclusion of inertial effects in these motions. The review offered the concepts that emphasized SRLS as an alternative to the model-free point-of-view approach, while describing and demonstrating the way SRLS was to be implemented in a practical manner. application of SRLS and model-free (MF) to a large number of data sets revealed that MF was frequently a force-fitting to the experimental data and that SRLS and MF analyses were quantitative in nature.
