'Sushi-like' nanodiscs provide structural snapshots of misfolding proteins News-Medical.net
In the ocean, there are no boundaries; a swimming pool has boundaries," Ramamoorthy said. "We're able to stop the aggregation of the protein in this restricted membrane environment so we can monitor what it looks like before it becomes a mass of fibers ...

[NMR paper] Assembly of phospholipid nanodiscs of controlled size for structural studies of membrane proteins by NMR.
Assembly of phospholipid nanodiscs of controlled size for structural studies of membrane proteins by NMR.
Assembly of phospholipid nanodiscs of controlled size for structural studies of membrane proteins by NMR.
Nat Protoc. 2018 Jan;13(1):79-98
Authors: Hagn F, Nasr ML, Wagner G
Abstract
Suitable membrane mimetics are crucial to the performance of structural and functional studies of membrane proteins. Phospholipid nanodiscs (formed when a membrane scaffold protein encircles a small portion of a lipid bilayer) have...

Researchers solve complete 3-D structure of E6 proteins in HPV 16
News-Medical.net
Success depended on two factors: the development of methods for isolating protein E6 as well as the use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and crystallography techniques. Having dealt with various aggregation and purification problems, the researchers ...
