Abstract
Conformational studies of membrane proteins remain a challenge in the field of structural biology, and in particular the investigation of the proteins in a native-like lipid environment. Solid-state NMR presents a valuable opportunity for this, and we present here three critical steps in the solid-state NMR sample preparation, i.e., membrane reconstitution of the protein in native lipids, rotor filling, and sample quality assessment, at the example of the Bacillus subtilis ATP-binding cassette transporter BmrA.

Abstract
Although dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) has dramatically enhanced solid-state NMR spectral sensitivities of many synthetic materials and some biological macromolecules, recent studies of membrane-protein DNP using exogenously doped paramagnetic radicals as polarizing agents have reported varied and sometimes surprisingly limited enhancement factors. This motivated us to carry out a systematic evaluation of sample preparation protocols...
