Abstract
Many peptides and proteins are attached to or immersed in a biological membrane. In order to understand their function not only the structure but also their topology in the membrane is important. Solution NMR spectroscopy is one of the most often used approaches to determine the orientation and localization of membrane-bound peptides and proteins. Here we give an application-oriented overview on the use of paramagnetic probes for the investigation of membrane-bound peptides and proteins. The examples discussed range from the large pool of antimicrobial peptides, bacterial toxins, cell penetrating peptides to domains of larger proteins or the calcium regulating protein phospholamban. Topological information is obtained in all these examples by the use of either attached or freely mobile paramagnetic tags. For some examples information obtained from the paramagnetic probes was included in the structure determination.

Narrowing the conformational space sampled by two-domain proteins with paramagnetic probes in both domains
Abstract Calmodulin is a two-domain protein which in solution can adopt a variety of conformations upon reorientation of its domains. The maximum occurrence (MO) of a set of calmodulin conformations that are representative of the overall conformational space possibly sampled by the protein, has been calculated from the paramagnetism-based restraints. These restraints were measured after inclusion of a lanthanide binding tag in the C-terminal domain to supplement the data obtained...

NMR spectroscopy has established itself as one of the main techniques for the structural study of integral membrane proteins. Remarkably, over the last few years, substantial progress has been achieved in the structure determination of increasingly complex polytopical ?-helical membrane proteins, with their size approaching ~100kDa. Such advances are the...

Membrane proteins are usually solubilized in polar solvents by incorporation into micelles. Even for small membrane proteins these mixed micelles have rather large molecular masses, typically beyond 50000 Da. The NMR technique TROSY...

Translational diffusion coefficients and catalytic activities were measured for the integral membrane protein diacylglycerol kinase (DAGK) in a variety of types of detergent micelles. Despite the structural diversity of the detergents examined, the translational diffusion coefficients observed for DAGK...
