Recent progress in the solid-state NMR spectroscopy of membrane proteins within a cellular membrane has been reviewed, along with requirements for sample preparation.
Membrane proteins in their native habitat as seen by solid-state NMR spectroscopy
Membrane proteins in their native habitat as seen by solid-state NMR spectroscopy
Abstract
Membrane proteins play many critical roles in cells, mediating flow of material and information across cell membranes. They have evolved to perform these functions in the environment of a cell membrane, whose physicochemical properties are often different from those of common cell membrane mimetics used for structure determination. As a result, membrane proteins are difficult to study by traditional methods of structural biology, and they are significantly underrepresented in the protein structure...

Abstract
Unlike water soluble proteins, the structures of helicaltransmembrane proteins depend on a very complex environment. These proteins sit in the midst of dramatic electrical and chemical gradients and are often subject to variations in the lateral pressure profile, order parameters, dielectric...
