Just as the environment we live in tunes who we are, it also shapes the molecules that make life possible. Nucleic acids and proteins are not fixed, static objects; they respond to their surroundings (the chemical microenvironment) and can fold, unfold, and refold in response. A structure seen in a test tube may not always give complete information on the archetypes that perform the actual function inside a living cell. So why not just ask the cell? That's the mission of in-cell NMR spectroscopy: an atomically resolved view of biomolecules exactly where they naturally exist and act.
