A primary biological function of multi-spanning membrane proteins is to transfer information and/or materials through a membrane by changing their conformations. Therefore, particular dynamics of the membrane proteins are tightly associated with their function. The semi-atomic resolution dynamics information revealed by NMR is able to discriminate function-related dynamics from random fluctuations. This review will discuss several studies in which quantitative dynamics information by solution...

Abstract
Membrane-protein NMR occupies a unique niche for determining structures, assessing dynamics, examining folding, and studying the binding of lipids, ligands and drugs to membrane proteins. However, NMR analyses of membrane proteins also face special challenges that are not...

Solution NMR spectroscopy can analyze the dynamics of proteins on a wide range of timescales, from picoseconds to even days, in a site-specific manner, and thus its results are complementary to the detailed but largely static structural information obtained by X-ray crystallography. We review recent progresses in a variety of NMR techniques, including relaxation dispersion and paramagnetic relaxation...

NMR spectroscopy has established itself as one of the main techniques for the structural study of integral membrane proteins. Remarkably, over the last few years, substantial progress has been achieved in the structure determination of increasingly complex polytopical ?-helical membrane proteins, with their size approaching ~100kDa. Such advances are the...
