		Many HMS investigators already rely on less powerful MR machines to determine structures for individual proteins and protein interactions, and to screen for ways to inhibit those interactions, said Gerhard Wagner, HMS professor of biological chemistry and molecular pharmacology.
		MR spectrometry's role in drug discovery is expanding, and Wagner also expects it to be prominent in "metabolomics." This new discipline seeks to predict risk, confirm diagnosis, or assess treatment efficacy by measuring levels of all metabolites in easily obtained clinical specimens such as urine or saliva.
		Thirty years ago, when Griffin and Wagner first got involved with MR spectrometry, iron magnets were state-of-the-art and results could be displayed only as jagged lines, traced on a big sheet of paper by an X-Y plotter.
