A detailed knowledge of the complex processes that make cells and organisms alive is fundamental in order to understand diseases and to develop novel drugs and therapeutic treatments. To this aim, biological macromolecules should ideally be characterized at atomic resolution directly within the cellular environment. Among the existing structural techniques, solution NMR stands out as the only one able to investigate at high resolution the structure and dynamic behavior of macromolecules directly...

Progression of NMR studies of membrane-active peptides from lipid bilayers to live cells
Progression of NMR studies of membrane-active peptides from lipid bilayers to live cells
Publication date: Available online 27 December 2014
Source:Journal of Magnetic Resonance</br>
Author(s): M.-A. Sani , F. Separovic</br>
Understanding the structure of membrane-active peptides faces many challenges associated with the development of appropriate model membrane systems as the peptide structure depends strongly on the lipid environment. This perspective provides a brief overview of the approach taken to study antimicrobial and amyloid peptides in phospholipid...

Annu Rev Biophys. 2014 May 6;43:171-192
Authors: Freedberg DI, Selenko P
Abstract
Ever since scientists realized that cells are the basic building blocks of all life, they have been developing tools to look inside them to reveal the architectures and mechanisms that define their biological functions. Whereas "looking into cells" is typically said in reference to optical microscopy, high-resolution in-cell and on-cell nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful method...

Abstract
We use NMR directly in live human cells to describe the complete post-translational maturation process of human superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1). We follow, at atomic resolution, zinc binding, homodimer formation and copper uptake, and discover that copper chaperone for...
