Fluorine-19 is a spin-½ NMR isotope with high sensitivity and large chemical shift dispersion, which makes it attractive for high resolution NMR spectroscopy in solution. For studies of membrane proteins it is further of interest that 19F is rarely found in biological materials, which enables observation of extrinsic 19F labels with minimal interference from background signals. Today, after a period with rather limited use of 19F NMR in structural biology, we witness renewed interest in this technology for studies of complex supramolecular systems. Here we report on recent 19F NMR studies with the G protein-coupled receptor family of membrane proteins.

Abstract
Integral membrane proteins (IMPs) play a central role in cell communication with the environment. Their structures are essential for our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of signaling and for drug design, yet they remain badly underrepresented in the protein structure databank. Solution NMR is, aside from X-ray crystallography, the major tool...

Abstract Membrane proteins represent up to 30% of the proteins in all organisms, they are involved in many biological processes and are the molecular targets for around 50% of validated drugs. Despite this, membrane proteins represent less than 1% of all high-resolution protein structures due to various challenges associated with applying the main biophysical techniques used for...

Signals between a cell and its environment are often transmitted through membrane proteins; therefore, many membrane proteins, including G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and ion channels, are important drug targets. Structural information about membrane proteins remains limited owing to challenges in protein expression, purification and the selection of membrane-mimicking systems that will...
