Proteins function in cells where the concentration of macromolecules can exceed 300g/L. The ways in which this crowded environment affects the physical properties of proteins remain poorly understood. We summarize recent NMR-based studies of protein folding and binding conducted in cells and in vitro under crowded conditions. Many of the observations can be understood in terms of interactions between proteins and the rest of the intracellular environment (i.e. quinary interactions). Nevertheless, NMR studies of folding and binding in cells and cell-like environments remain in their infancy. The frontier involves investigations of larger proteins and further efforts in higher eukaryotic cells.

Abstract
Recombinant proteins (RPs) are commonly expressed in bacteria followed by solubilization and chromatography. Purified RP yield can be diminished by losses at any step with very different changes in methods needed to try to improve yield. Time and...

Most proteins function in cells where protein concentrations can reach 400g/l. However, most quantitative studies of protein properties are performed in idealized, dilute conditions. Recently developed in-cell NMR techniques can provide protein structure and other biophysical properties inside living cells at atomic resolution. Here we review how protein dynamics, including global and internal motions have been...

Abstract
Biology relies on functional interplay of proteins in the crowded and heterogeneous environment inside cells, and functional protein interactions are often weak and transient. Thus, methods are needed that preserve these interactions...
