Abstract:
Although membrane proteins constitute a significant portion of the genomes of all species and represent well-validated targets for numerous therapeutic interventions, high-resolution structural knowledge of this class of proteins still falls behind that of their soluble counterparts. Despite serious technological developments in the methods presently available for structural characterizations, as well as decades spent on such investigations, membrane proteins remain notoriously difficult to study. This is particularly true for environments which mimic native membranes well enough to maintain their proper functional states. This mini review covers the most recent advances in the structural and dynamic characterization of membrane proteins through the utilization of solution nuclear magnetic resonance methods applied to lipid nanodiscs.
