Abstract
Lipidic inverse bicontinuous cubic phases (LCPs), formed via the spontaneous self-assembly of lipids such as monoolein, have found increasing applications in the stabilization and crystallization of integral membrane proteins for structural characterization using X-ray crystallography. Their use as effective drug release matrices has also been demonstrated. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, both solution and solid-state, has previously been employed for the characterization of LCPs and related systems. Herein, we report a number of novel features of solution NMR for probing the fundamental composition and structural properties of monoolein-based LCPs. These include: (1) more complete assignments of both 1H and 13C chemical shifts, (2) direct quantification of hydration level in LCPs using 1D 1H NMR, and (3) monitoring longer term stability of LCPs and evaluating alterations introduced into standard LCPs at the sub-molecular level.

Abstract
The β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) is involved in folding and insertion of outer membrane proteins in Gram-negative bacteria, a process that is still poorly understood. With its 790 residues, BamA presents a challenge to current NMR methods. We utilized a â??divide and conquerâ?? approach in which we first obtained resonance assignments for BamAâ??s periplasmic POTRA domains 4 and 5 by solution NMR. Comparison of...
