Abstract
Many advances in instrumentation and methodology have furthered the use of solid-state NMR as a technique for determining the structures and studying the dynamics of molecules involved in complex biological assemblies. Solid-state NMR does not require large crystals, has no inherent size limit, and with appropriate isotopic labeling schemes, supports solving one component of a complex assembly at a time. It is complementary to cryo-EM, in that it provides local, atomic-level detail that can be modeled into larger-scale structures. This review focuses on the development of high-field MAS instrumentation and methodology; including probe design, benchmarking strategies, labeling schemes, and experiments that enable the use of quadrupolar nuclei in biomolecular NMR. Current challenges facing solid-state NMR of biological assemblies and new directions in this dynamic research area are also discussed.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR is able to generate structural data on sample preparations that are explicitly non-crystalline. In particular, for amyloid fibril samples, which can comprise significant degrees of sample disorder, solid-state NMR has been used very...

Solid-state NMR is able to generate structural data on sample preparations that are explicitly non-crystalline. In particular, for amyloid fibril samples, which can comprise significant degrees of sample disorder, solid-state NMR has been used very successfully. But also solid-state NMR studies of other supramolecular assemblies that have resisted...
