University of Maryland researchers developed a method to expand the scope of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. In the example above, the researchers were able to create a 3D image revealing the site on a piece of hepatitis RNA where small molecules such as a drug could bind (shown in green).
