Biological membrane structure by solid-state NMR.
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and particularly solid-state NMR spectroscopy, is a method of choice to study the structure and dynamics of both the lipid and the protein components of model and biological membranes. Different approaches have been developed to study these systems in which the restricted molecular motions result in broad NMR spectra. This contribution will first p...
متن کاملProbing the Transmembrane Structure and Topology of Microsomal Cytochrome-P450 by Solid-State NMR on Temperature-Resistant Bicelles
Though the importance of high-resolution structure and dynamics of membrane proteins has been well recognized, optimizing sample conditions to retain the native-like folding and function of membrane proteins for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) or X-ray measurements has been a major challenge. While bicelles have been shown to stabilize the function of membrane proteins and are increasingly uti...
متن کاملStructure determination of a membrane protein with two trans-membrane helices in aligned phospholipid bicelles by solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
The structure of the membrane protein MerFt was determined in magnetically aligned phospholipid bicelles by solid-state NMR spectroscopy. With two trans-membrane helices and a 10-residue inter-helical loop, this truncated construct of the mercury transport membrane protein MerF has sufficient structural complexity to demonstrate the feasibility of determining the structures of polytopic membran...
متن کاملEuropium III binding and the reorientation of magnetically aligned bicelles: insights from deuterium NMR spectroscopy.
Solid-state deuterium ((2)H) NMR spectroscopy was used to study the reorientation of magnetically ordered bicelles in the presence of the paramagnetic lanthanide Eu(3+). Bicelles were composed of 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) plus 1,2-dihexanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine plus either the anionic lipid 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-3-phosphoglycerol, or the cationic lipid 1,2-dimyrist...
متن کاملSolid-State NMR Spectroscopy
A number of arylamides have been synthesized and found to exhibit potent antimicrobial activities against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria while exhibiting low toxicity toward eukaryotic cells. These facially amphiphilic foldamers have a relatively rigid intramolecular hydrogen-bonded arylamide as a framework, which places trifluormethyl versus positively charged ami...
