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 protein structure determination. Recent years have seen an explosion in the number of high-resolution structures of membrane proteins determined by NMR spectroscopy, especially for those with multiple transmembrane-spanning segments. This is a review of the structures of polytopic integral membrane proteins determined by NMR spectroscopy up to the end of the year 2010, which includes both ?-barrel and ?-helical proteins from a number of different organisms and with a range in types of function. It also considers the challenges associated with performing structural studies by NMR spectroscopy on membrane proteins and how some of these have been overcome, along with its exciting potential for contributing new knowledge about the molecular mechanisms of membrane proteins, their roles in human disease, and for assisting drug design.

Multidimensional oriented solid-state NMR experiments enable the sequential assignment of uniformly 15N labeled integral membrane proteins in magnetically aligned lipid bilayers
Abstract Oriented solid-state NMR is the most direct methodology to obtain the orientation of membrane proteins with respect to the lipid bilayer. The method consists of measuring 1H-15N dipolar couplings (DC) and 15N anisotropic chemical shifts (CSA) for membrane proteins that are uniformly aligned with respect to the membrane bilayer. A significant advantage of this approach is that tilt and azimuthal...

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...

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...
