(19)F NMR is a unique tool to examine the structure of fluorine-labeled peptides in their native cellular environment, due to an exquisite sensitivity and lack of natural abundance background. For solid-state NMR analysis, we isolated native membranes from erythrocyte ghosts and bacterial protoplasts and prepared them as macroscopically oriented samples. They showed a high purity and quality of alignment according to (31)P NMR, and the membrane-bound antimicrobial peptide PGLa could be detected by (19)F NMR. The characteristic fingerprint splitting of its (19)F reporter group indicated that the peptide helix binds to the native membranes in a surface alignment, albeit with a higher affinity in the prokaryotic than the eukaryotic system.

To understand how membrane-active peptides (MAPs) function in vivo, it is essential to obtain structural information about them in their membrane-bound state. Most biophysical approaches rely on the use of bilayers prepared from synthetic phospholipids, i.e. artificial model membranes. A particularly successful structural method is solid-state NMR,...
