Oriented solid-state NMR (O-ssNMR) spectroscopy is a major technique for the high-resolution analysis of the structure and topology of transmembrane proteins in native-like environments. Unlike magic angle spinning (MAS) techniques, O-ssNMR spectroscopy requires membrane protein preparations that are uniformly oriented (mechanically or magnetically) so that anisotropic NMR parameters, such as dipolar and chemical shift interactions, can be measured to determine structure and orientation of membrane proteins in lipid bilayers. Traditional sample preparations involving mechanically aligned lipids often result in short relaxation times which broaden the 15N resonances and encumber the manipulation of nuclear spin coherences. The introduction of lipid bicelles as membrane mimicking systems has changed this scenario, and the more favorable relaxation properties of membrane protein 15N and 13C resonances make it possible to develop new, more elaborate pulse sequences for higher spectral resolution and sensitivity. Here, we describe our recent progress in the optimization of O-ssNMR pulse sequences. We explain the theory behind these experiments, demonstrate their application to small and medium size proteins, and describe the technical details for setting up these new experiments on the new generation of NMR spectrometers.

Paramagnetic relaxation enhancement to improve sensitivity of fast NMR methods: application to intrinsically disordered proteins
Abstract We report enhanced sensitivity NMR measurements of intrinsically disordered proteins in the presence of paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) agents such as Ni2+-chelated DO2A. In proton-detected 1H-15N SOFAST-HMQC and carbon-detected (H-flip)13CO-15N experiments, faster longitudinal relaxation enables the usage of even shorter interscan delays. This results in higher NMR signal intensities per units of experimental time, without adverse line...

Multidimensional oriented solid-state NMR experiments enable the sequential assignment of uniformly 15N labeled integral membrane proteins in magnetically aligned lipid bilayers
Abstract Oriented solid-state NMR is the most direct methodology to obtain the orientation of membrane proteins with respect to the lipid bilayer. The method consists of measuring 1H-15N dipolar couplings (DC) and 15N anisotropic chemical shifts (CSA) for membrane proteins that are uniformly aligned with respect to the membrane bilayer. A significant advantage of this approach is that tilt and azimuthal...

The sensitivity of two-dimensional (2D) 13C-13C solid-state NMR spectroscopy under magic-angle spinning (MAS) is shown to be enhanced by the use of transverse polarization transfer in place of the conventional longitudinal polarization transfer. Experimental results are reported for 2D...
