Solid state NMR spectroscopy has evolved rapidly in recent years into an excellent tool for the characterization of membrane proteins and their complexes. In the past few years it has also become clear that the structure of membrane proteins, especially helical membrane proteins is determined, in part, by the membrane environment. Therefore, the modeling of this environment by a liquid crystalline lipid bilayer for solid state NMR has generated a unique tool for the characterization of native conformational states, local and global dynamics, and high-resolution structure for these proteins. Protein–protein interactions can also benefit from this solid state NMR capability to characterize membrane proteins in a native-like environment. These complexes take the form of oligomeric structures and hetero-protein interactions both with water-soluble proteins and other membrane proteins.

Misfolding and aggregation of the intrinsically disordered protein ?-Synuclein (?S) in Lewy body plaques is a characteristic marker of late-stage Parkinson’s disease. It is well established that membrane binding is initiated at the N-terminus of the protein and...

When researchers use NMR to study protein-complex formation in cell-membrane mimics called micelles, they run the risk of misinterpreting shifts in the spectra. For instance, protein A and protein B might just appear to be associating because the ...
