Abstract:
Solution-state NMR spectroscopy has become a powerful tool to study soluble proteins in cells, provided that they tumble sufficiently fast. In addition, cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) has recently displayed a tremendous potential to probe structures of large proteins and assemblies in their native cellular environments. However, challenges remain to obtain atomic-level information in native cell settings for proteins that are small, disordered, or are strongly engaged in intermolecular interactions. In this Minireview, we discuss recent progress in using sensitivity enhanced solid-state NMR spectroscopy methods in the context of cellular structural biology.

Chemical Shift: Internal References and Solvent Effects
The internal reference compound generally used in NMR spectroscopy is tetramethylsilane (TMS). TMS is preferred because it is chemically inert, soluble in NMR solvents, and easily removable. Also, the highly shielded methyl protons in TMS yield an intense...
