Solid state nmr spectroscopy

The coat proteins of filamentous phage are first synthesized as transmem-brane proteins and then assembled onto the extruding viral particles. We investigated the transmembrane conformation of the Pseudomonas aerugi-nosa Pf3 phage coat protein using proton-decoupled 15 N and 31 P solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

The membrane binding affinity of the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain of phospholipase C (PLC)-d1 was investigated using a vesicle coprecipitation assay and the structure of the membrane-associated PH domain was probed using solid-state 13 C NMR spectroscopy.

Cellulose and wheat straw degradation byRuminococcus albuswas moni-tored using NMR spectroscopy. In situ solid-state 13 C-cross-polarization magic angle spinning NMR was used to monitor the modification of the composition and structure of cellulose and 13 C-enriched wheat straw during the growth of the bacterium on these substrates.

Proteins are occasionally converted from their normal soluble state to highly ordered fibrillar aggregates (amyloids), which give rise to pathologi-cal conditions that range from neurodegenerative disorders to systemic amyloidoses. Recent methodological advances in solid-state NMR and EPR spectroscopy have enabled determination of the 3D structure of sev-eral amyloids at residue-level resolution.
