Membrane proteins are an important class of biological molecules whose association with lipid bilayers and intrinsic molecular mobility can complicate their structural study by high-resolution methods. As different experimental techniques require different membrane mimetics, it can be challenging to relate membrane protein structure to function. This review presents examples of the use of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (ssNMR) to correlate structure and function in membrane proteins with diverse biological roles, including signaling, transport, and enzymatic reactions. The types of ssNMR experiments, as well as sources of complementary information and implications for biology, will be discussed. An outlook towards extending ssNMR studies to cellular preparations will be given.

Solid-state NMR analysis of membrane proteins and protein aggregates by proton detected spectroscopy
Abstract Solid-state NMR has emerged as an important tool for structural biology and chemistry, capable of solving atomic-resolution structures for proteins in membrane-bound and aggregated states. Proton detection methods have been recently realized under fast magic-angle spinning conditions, providing large sensitivity enhancements for efficient examination of uniformly labeled proteins. The first and often most challenging step of protein structure determination by NMR is the...
