Phys.Org Cholesterol helps flu virus escape through host cell's membrane Phys.Org
Using a technique called solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, the MIT team found that two cholesterol molecules bind to a flu protein called M2 to sever the viral buds from their host. The molecular configuration creates an ...

Cell-free expression, purification, and membrane reconstitution for NMR studies of the nonstructural protein 4B from hepatitis C virus
Cell-free expression, purification, and membrane reconstitution for NMR studies of the nonstructural protein 4B from hepatitis C virus
Abstract
We describe the expression of the hepatitis C virus nonstructural protein 4B (NS4B), which is an integral membrane protein, in a wheat germ cell-free system, the subsequent purification and characterization of NS4B and its insertion into proteoliposomes in amounts sufficient for multidimensional solid-state NMR spectroscopy. First spectra of the isotopically -labeled protein are shown to yield narrow 13C...

New technology helps researchers discover how plant cell walls grow
Iowa State Daily
"We came upon the idea of using this new, enhanced method that she knew about, a sensitivity-enhanced method for nuclear magnetic resonance analysis, with some of our proteins that loosened cell walls," Cosgrove said. The focus of the experiment was ...
