Once removed from their natural environment, membrane proteins depend on membrane-mimetic systems to retain their native structures and functions. To this end, lipid-bilayer nanodiscs that are bounded by scaffold proteins or amphiphilic polymers such as styrene/maleic acid (SMA) copolymers have been introduced as alternatives to detergent micelles and liposomes for in vitro membrane-protein research. Herein, we show that an alternating diisobutylene/maleic acid (DIBMA) copolymer shows equal performance to SMA in solubilizing phospholipids, stabilizes an integral membrane enzyme in functional bilayer nanodiscs, and extracts proteins of various sizes directly from cellular membranes. Unlike aromatic SMA, aliphatic DIBMA has only a mild effect on lipid acyl-chain order, does not interfere with optical spectroscopy in the far-UV range, and does not precipitate in the presence of low millimolar concentrations of divalent cations. Small discs, big impact: A diisobutylene/maleic acid (DIBMA) copolymer extracts proteins directly from biological membranes to form nanodiscs in which the polymer wraps around lipid-bilayer patches with embedded membrane proteins. Both the order of the lipid acyl chains and the enzymatic activity of a model protein are retained in the nanodiscs, which are amenable to a broad range of in vitro studies.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR studies of sedimented soluble proteins has been developed recently as an attractive approach for overcoming the size limitations of solution NMR spectroscopy while bypassing the need for sample crystallization or precipitation (Bertini et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 108(26):10396â??10399, 2011). Inspired by the potential benefits of this method, we have investigated the ability to sediment lipid bilayer...
