Studying the structural aspects of proteins within sub-cellular compartments is of growing interest. Dynamic nuclear polarization supported solid-state NMR (DNP-ssNMR) is uniquely suited to provide such information, but critically lacks the desired sensitivity and resolution. Here we utilize SNAPol-1, a novel biradical, to conduct DNP-ssNMR at high-magnetic fields (800 MHz/527 GHz) inside HeLa cells and isolated cell nuclei electroporated with [^(13)C,^(15)N] labeled ubiquitin. We report that...

Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) can provide structural information at the most detailed level and, at the same time, is applicable in highly heterogeneous and complex molecular environments, largely irrespective of solubility or crystallinity. Revolutionary developments in the field of dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP)...

Efficient cellular solid-state NMR of membrane proteins by targeted protein labeling
Abstract
Solid-state NMR spectroscopy (ssNMR) has made significant progress towards the study of membrane proteins in their native cellular membranes. However, reduced spectroscopic sensitivity and high background signal levels can complicate these experiments. Here, we describe a method for ssNMR to specifically label a single protein by repressing endogenous protein expression with rifampicin. Our results demonstrate that treatment of E. coli with rifampicin during...
