Techniques for atomic-resolution structural biology have evolved during the past several decades. Breakthroughs in instrumentation, sample preparation, and data analysis that occurred in the past decade have enabled characterization of viruses with an unprecedented level of detail. Here we review the recent advances in magic-angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for structural analysis of viruses and viral assemblies. MAS NMR is a powerful method that yields...
[NMR paper] Protein structural dynamics by Magic-Angle Spinning NMR
Protein structural dynamics by Magic-Angle Spinning NMR
Magic-Angle Spinning (MAS) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a fast-developing technique, capable of complementing solution NMR, X-ray crystallography, and electron microscopy for the biophysical characterization of microcrystalline, poorly crystalline or disordered protein samples, such as enzymes, biomolecular assemblies, membrane-embedded systems or fibrils. Beyond structures, MAS NMR is an ideal tool for the investigation of dynamics, since it is unique in its ability to distinguish static...

Accuracy and precision of protein structures determined by magic angle spinning NMR spectroscopy: for some â??with a little help from a friendâ??
Abstract
We present a systematic investigation into the attainable accuracy and precision of protein structures determined by heteronuclear magic angle spinning solid-state NMR for a set of four proteins of varied size and secondary structure content. Structures were calculated using synthetically generated random sets of C-C distances up to 7Â*Ã? at different degrees of completeness. For single-domain...

Abstract
The capsid dynamics of filamentous bacteriophages is related to their function, stability and interactions with the genome, and can be assessed by measuring the chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) of 15N-amides, which are sensitive to large amplitude...

Abstract
In DNP MAS NMR experiments at ~80-110 K, the structurally important -13CH3 and -15NH3+ signals in MAS spectra of biological samples disappear due to the interference of the molecular motions with the 1H...
