Macromolecular structure determination by NMR is done in aqueous solution, and thus requires that the molecule be soluble.

==Display of NMR Models in Proteopedia==
Proteopedia shows '''all the models''' in ensembles of models from NMR experiments. This enables you to see where the models agree with each other, and where they differ. Each model is shown as a thin backbone trace (a line connecting alpha carbon atoms of amino acids, or phosphorus atoms in DNA or RNA chains). The backbone traces are colored by <font color="blue">'''Amino'''</font> to  <font color="blue">'''Carboxy'''</font> "rainbow", a spectral sequence of colors starting at the amino terminus (or 5' terminus of nucleic acid chains) and ending at the carboxy terminus (or 3' terminus).
Ligands ([[Hetero atoms]]) are also shown for all models, except that they are opaque only for model 1, and translucent for all other models. Ligand atoms are colored by element, using the [[CPK color scheme]].
