The underlying premise of structural biology is that the fundamental understanding of biological functions lies in the three-dimensional structures of proteins and other biopolymers. The two well-established experimental methods for determining the high-resolution structures of proteins have both contributed to the wealth of structural information available for the tumor suppressor genes. The tumor suppressor proteins whose structures have been determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy are listed in Table 1 . Although X-ray crystallography plays a central role in high-throughput structure determination in the current structural genomics efforts, several features of NMR spectroscopy make it extremely well suited for three-dimensional structure determination as well as for the structure-function analysis of proteins (1 ,2 ).
