The lipid/protein stoichiometries of a naturally crystalline biological membrane, the purple membrane (PM) of Halobacterium salinarum, have been obtained by a combination of (31)P- and (1)H-NMR analyses of the lipid extract. In total, 10 lipid molecules per retinal were found to be present in the PM lipid extract: 2-3 molecules of phosphatidylglycerophosphate methyl ester (PGP-Me), 3 of glycolipid sulfate, 1 of phosphatidylglycerol, 1 of archaeal glycocardiolipin (GlyC), 2 of squalene plus minor amounts of phosphatidylglycerosulfate (PGS) and bisphosphatidylglycerol (archaeal cardiolipin) (BPG) and a negligible amount of vitamin MK8. The novel data of the present study are necessary to identify the lipids in the electron density map, and to shed light on the structural relationships of the lipid and protein components of the PM.

Structure determination of membrane-associated proteins (MPs) represents a frontier of structural biology that is characterized by unique challenges in sample preparation and data acquisition. No less important is our ability to study the dynamics of MPs, since MP flexibility and characteristic motions often make sizeable contributions to their...
