In PNAS, Renault et al. (1) describe an advance that will help reveal the atomic details of membrane proteins in living cells. Membrane proteins comprise one-third of all cellular proteins, including biologically crucial molecules such as ion channels, G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), and transporters. The GPCR superfamily alone comprises nearly half of our current drug targets. Despite their importance and prevalence, relatively few membrane protein structures are known. Of the more than 20,000 unique high-resolution protein structures in the Protein Data Bank (www.pdb.org) (2), less than 0.5% are membrane proteins. The paucity of membrane protein structures reflects difficulties in preparing... Read More

A simple design for anin situ, three-electrode spectroelectrochemical cell is reported that can be used in commercial Q- and W-band (ca. 34 and 94 GHz, respectively) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometers, using standard sample tubing (1.0 and 0.5 mm inner diameter, respectively) and within variable temperature cryostat systems....

The role of a protein inside a cell is determined by both its location and its conformational state. Although fluorescence techniques are widely used to determine the cellular localization of proteins in vivo, these approaches cannot provide detailed information about a protein's three-dimensional state. This gap, however, can be filled by NMR spectroscopy, which can be used to investigate both...
