Abstract
It is challenging to find membrane mimics that stabilize the native structure, dynamics, and functions of membrane proteins. In a recent advance, nanodiscs have been shown to provide a bilayer environment compatible with solution NMR. Increasing the lipid to "belt" peptide ratio expands their diameter, slows their reorientation...

J Biomol NMR. 2003 Apr;25(4):313-23
Authors: Babu CR, Flynn PF, Wand AJ
Encapsulating a protein in a reverse micelle and dissolving it in a low-viscosity solvent can lower the rotational correlation time of a protein and thereby provides a novel strategy for studying proteins in a variety of contexts. The...

J Mol Biol. 1999 Sep 3;291(5):1191-206
Authors: Alexandrescu AT, Rathgeb-Szabo K
At pH 2.0, acid-denatured CspA undergoes a slow self-assembly process, which results in the formation of insoluble fibrils. 1H-15N HSQC, 3D HSQC-NOESY, and 15N T2 NMR experiments have...

Assessment of GABARAP self-association by its diffusion properties
Abstract Gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor-associated protein (GABARAP) belongs to a family of small ubiquitin-like adaptor proteins implicated in intracellular vesicle trafficking and autophagy. We have used diffusion-ordered nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to study the temperature and concentration dependence of the diffusion properties of GABARAP. Our data suggest the presence of distinct conformational states and provide support for self-association of GABARAP molecules. Assuming a monomerâ??dimer equilibrium, a temperature-dependent dissociation constant could be derived....
