The 20 papers in this topical issue of the reflect the multitude of NMR techniques and approaches used to investigate conformational dynamics critical for folding and stability, molecular recognition, and catalysis of proteins, nucleic acids, and other biological molecules. Of course, any single issue of a journal cannot include a selection of papers comprehensive enough to truly encompass the diversity of developments and applications in a field that continues to expand as rapidly and creatively as NMR spectroscopy. Many alternative selections of papers could have been made equally well and no doubt, indeed one hopes, the work described in this topical issue will inspire developments of increasingly powerful techniques and applications to increasingly deeper questions in biology.
