Resolution and sensitivity in solid state NMR (SSNMR) can rival the results achieved by solution NMR, and even outperform them in the case of large systems. However, several factors affect the spectral quality in SSNMR samples, and not all systems turn out to be equally amenable for this methodology. In this review we attempt at analyzing the causes of this variable behavior and at providing hints to increase the chances of experimental success. Graphical abstract

15N NMR relaxation rate R 1? measurements reveal that a substantial fraction of residues in the microcrystalline chicken alpha-spectrin SH3 domain protein undergoes dynamics in the ?s - ms timescale range. On the basis of a comparison of 2D site-resolved with 1D integrated 15N...

Site-specific analysis of heteronuclear Overhauser effects in microcrystalline proteins
Site-specific analysis of heteronuclear Overhauser effects in microcrystalline proteins
Abstract
Relaxation parameters such as longitudinal relaxation are susceptible to artifacts such as spin diffusion, and can be affected by paramagnetic impurities as e.g. oxygen, which make a quantitative interpretation difficult. We present here the site-specific measurement of 13C and 15N heteronuclear rates in an immobilized protein. For methyls, a strong effect is expected due to the three-fold rotation of the methyl group. Quantification of the 13C...

Solid-state NMR of proteins sedimented by ultracentrifugation [Chemistry]
Solid-state NMR of proteins sedimented by ultracentrifugation

Relatively large proteins in solution, spun in NMR rotors for solid samples at typical ultracentrifugation speeds, sediment at the rotor wall. The sedimented proteins provide high-quality solid-state-like NMR spectra suitable for structural investigation. The proteins fully revert to the native solution state when spinning is stopped, allowing one to study them in both conditions. Transiently sedimented proteins can be considered a...
