Solid-state NMR of proteins sedimented by ultracentrifugation
Bertini, I., Luchinat, C., Parigi, G., Ravera, E., Reif, B., Turano, P....

Relatively large proteins in solution, spun in NMR rotors for solid samples at typical ultracentrifugation speeds, sediment at the rotor wall. The sedimented proteins provide high-quality solid-state-like NMR spectra suitable for structural investigation. The proteins fully revert to the native solution state when spinning is stopped, allowing one to study them in both conditions. Transiently sedimented proteins can be considered a...

We report the first example of 17O NMR spectra from a selectively labeled transmembrane peptide, 17O--WALP23, as a lyophilized powder and incorporated in hydrated phospholipid vesicles. It is shown that at high magnetic field it is feasible to apply...

Authors: Thompson LK
Magic-angle spinning solid-state NMR experiments are well suited to investigating the structures and mechanisms of important proteins that are inaccessible to X-ray crystallography and solution NMR spectroscopy, including membrane proteins and disease-related protein aggregates. Good progress has been made in the development...

One major remaining problem in structural biology is to elucidate the structure and mechanism of function of membrane proteins. On the basis of preliminary information from genome projects, it is now estimated that up to 50,000 different membrane proteins may exist in the human being and that virtually every life process proceeds, sooner or...

J Biomol NMR. 2010 Oct 30;
Authors: Trent Franks W, Atreya HS, Szyperski T, Rienstra CM
Recording of four-dimensional (4D) spectra for proteins in the solid state has opened new avenues to obtain virtually complete resonance assignments and three-dimensional (3D) structures of proteins. As in solution state NMR, the sampling of three indirect dimensions leads per se to long minimal measurement time. Furthermore,...
