An approach is introduced to characterize conformational ensembles of intrinsically unstructured peptides on the atomic level using two-dimensional solid-state NMR data and their combination with molecular dynamics simulations. For neurotensin, a peptide that binds with high affinity to a G-protein coupled receptor, this method permits the investigation of the changes in conformational preferences of a neurotransmitter transferred from a frozen aqueous solution via a lipid model phase to the receptor-bound form. The results speak against a conformational pre-organization of the ligand in detergents in which the receptor has been shown to be functional. Further extensions to the study of protein folding are possible.

Abstract
Rhodopsin has served as the primary model for studying G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)-the largest group in the human genome, and consequently a primary target for pharmaceutical development. Understanding the functions and activation mechanisms of...
