Development of a robust, uniform, and magnetically orientable lipid mimetics will undoubtedly advance solid-state NMR of macroscopically aligned membrane proteins. Here we report on a novel lipid membrane mimetic based on peptoid belts. The peptoids composed of 15 residues were synthesized by alternating N-(2-carboxyethyl)glycine with N-(2-phenethyl)glycine residues at the 2:1 molar ratio. The chemically synthesized peptoids possess much lower degree of polydispersity as compared to...

Abstract
Macrodiscs, which are magnetically alignable lipid bilayer discs with diameters of >30*nm, were obtained by solubilizing protein-containing liposomes with styrene-maleic acid copolymers. Macrodiscs provide a detergent-free phospholipid bilayer...

Macrodiscs, which are magnetically alignable lipid bilayer discs with diameters of >30*nm, were obtained by solubilizing protein-containing liposomes with styrene-maleic acid copolymers. Macrodiscs provide a detergent-free phospholipid bilayer environment for biophysical and functional studies of membrane proteins under...

Abstract
The validation of protein structures through functional assays has been the norm for many years. Functional assays perform this validation for water-soluble proteins very well, but they need to be performed in the same...

The validation of protein structures through functional assays has been the norm for many years. Functional assays perform this validation for water-soluble proteins very well, but they need to be performed in the same environment as that used for the structural analysis. This is difficult...
