Abstract
Studying biomolecules at atomic resolution in their native environment is the ultimate aim of structural biology. We investigated the bacterial type IV secretion system core complex (T4SScc) by cellular dynamic nuclear polarization-based solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to validate a structural model previously generated by combining in vitro and in silico data. Our results indicate that T4SScc is well folded in the cellular setting, revealing protein regions that had been elusive when studied in vitro.

Insight into the conformational stability of membrane-embedded BamA using a combined solution and solid-state NMR approach
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...

Water plays an essential role in the structure and function of proteins, lipid membranes and other biological macromolecules. Solid-state NMR heteronuclear-detected 1H polarization transfer from water to biomolecules is a versatile approach for studying water-protein, water-membrane, and water-carbohydrate interactions in biology. We review...
