Abstract
The field of paramagnetic NMR has expanded considerably in recent years. This review addresses both the theoretical description of paramagnetic NMR, and the way in which it is currently practised. We provide a review of the theory of the NMR parameters of systems in both solution and the solid state. Here we unify the different languages used by the NMR, EPR, quantum chemistry/DFT, and magnetism communities to provide a comprehensive and coherent theoretical description. We cover the theory of the paramagnetic shift and shift anisotropy in solution both in the traditional formalism in terms of the magnetic susceptibility tensor, and using a more modern formalism employing the relevant EPR parameters, such as are used in first-principles calculations. In addition we examine the theory first in the simple non-relativistic picture, and then in the presence of spin-orbit coupling. These ideas are then extended to a description of the paramagnetic shift in periodic solids, where it is necessary to include the bulk magnetic properties, such as magnetic ordering at low temperatures. The description of the paramagnetic shift is completed by describing the current understanding of such shifts due to lanthanide and actinide ions. We then examine the paramagnetic relaxation enhancement, using a simple model employing a phenomenological picture of the electronic relaxation, and again using a more complex state-of-the-art theory which incorporates electronic relaxation explicitly. An additional important consideration in the solid state is the impact of bulk magnetic susceptibility effects on the form of the spectrum, where we include some ideas from the field of classical electrodynamics. We then continue by describing in detail the solution and solid-state NMR methods that have been deployed in the study of paramagnetic systems in chemistry, biology, and the materials sciences. Finally we describe a number of case studies in paramagnetic NMR that have been specifically chosen to highlight how the theory in part one, and the methods in part two, can be used in practice. The systems chosen include small organometallic complexes in solution, solid battery electrode materials, metalloproteins in both solution and the solid state, systems containing lanthanide ions, and multi-component materials used in pharmaceutical controlled-release formulations that have been doped with paramagnetic species to measure the component domain sizes.

Abstract
Magic-angle spinning (MAS) is an essential ingredient in a wide variety of solid-state NMR experiments. The standard procedures to adjust the rotor angle are not highly accurate, resulting in a slight misadjustment of the rotor from the magic angle ( θ R L = tan - 1 2 ) on the order of a few millidegrees. This small missetting has no significant impact on the overall spectral resolution, but is sufficient to reintroduce anisotropic interactions. Shown here is that site-specific 1 H-15 N dipolar couplings can be accurately measured in a heavily deuterated protein. This method can be applied at arbitrarily high MAS frequencies, since neither rotor synchronization nor particularly high radiofrequency field strengths are required. The off-MAS method allows the quantification of order parameters for very dynamic residues, which often escape an analysis using existing methods.

Abstract
We report linewidth and proton T1, T1ρ and T2' relaxation data of the model protein ubiquitin acquired at MAS frequencies up to 126 kHz. We find a predominantly linear improvement in linewidths and coherence decay times of protons with increasing spinning frequency in the range from 93 to 126 kHz. We further attempt to gain insight into the different contributions to the linewidth at fast MAS using site-specific analysis of proton relaxation parameters and present bulk relaxation times as a function of the MAS frequency. For microcrystalline fully-protonated ubiquitin, inhomogeneous contributions are only a minor part of the proton linewidth, and at 126 kHz MAS coherent effects are still dominating. We furthermore present site-specific proton relaxation rate constants during a spinlock at 126 kHz MAS, as well as MAS-dependent bulk T1ρ (1HN).

Abstract
We describe a new labeling method that allows for full protonation at the backbone Hα position, maintaining protein side chains with a high level of deuteration. We refer to the method as alpha proton exchange by transamination (α-PET) since it relies on transaminase activity demonstrated here using Escherichia coli expression. We show that α-PET labeling is particularly useful in improving structural characterization of solid proteins by introduction of an additional proton reporter, while eliminating many strong dipolar couplings. The approach benefits from the high sensitivity associated with 1.3 mm samples, more abundant information including Hα resonances, and the narrow proton linewidths encountered for highly deuterated proteins. The labeling strategy solves amide proton exchange problems commonly encountered for membrane proteins when using perdeuteration and backexchange protocols, allowing access to alpha and all amide protons including those in exchange-protected regions. The incorporation of Hα protons provides new insights, as the close Hα-Hα and Hα-HN contacts present in β-sheets become accessible, improving the chance to determine the protein structure as compared with HN-HN contacts alone. Protonation of the Hα position higher than 90% is achieved for Ile, Leu, Phe, Tyr, Met, Val, Ala, Gln, Asn, Thr, Ser, Glu, Asp even though LAAO is only active at this degree for Ile, Leu, Phe, Tyr, Trp, Met. Additionally, the glycine methylene carbon is labeled preferentially with a single deuteron, allowing stereospecific assignment of glycine alpha protons. In solution, we show that the high deuteration level dramatically reduces R2 relaxation rates, which is beneficial for the study of large proteins and protein dynamics. We demonstrate the method using two model systems, as well as a 32 kDa membrane protein, hVDAC1, showing the applicability of the method to study membrane proteins.

Abstract
NMR relaxation dispersion methods provide a holistic way to observe microsecond time-scale protein backbone motion both in solution and in the solid state. Different nuclei (1H and 15N) and different relaxation dispersion techniques (Bloch-McConnell and near-rotary-resonance) give complementary information about the amplitudes and time scales of the conformational dynamics and provide comprehensive insights into the mechanistic details of the structural rearrangements. In this paper, we exemplify the benefits of the combination of various solution- and solid-state relaxation dispersion methods on a microcrystalline protein (α-spectrin SH3 domain), for which we are able to identify and model the functionally relevant conformational rearrangements around the ligand recognition loop occurring on multiple microsecond time scales. The observed loop motions suggest that the SH3 domain exists in a binding-competent conformation in dynamic equilibrium with a sterically impaired ground-state conformation both in solution and in crystalline form. This inherent plasticity between the interconverting macrostates is compatible with a conformational-preselection model and provides new insights into the recognition mechanisms of SH3 domains.

Abstract
Spontaneous activity shifts at constant experimental conditions represent a widespread regulatory mechanism in ion channels. The molecular origins of these modal gating shifts are poorly understood. In the K+ channel KcsA, a multitude of fast activity shifts that emulate the native modal gating behaviour can be triggered by point-mutations in the hydrogen bonding network that controls the selectivity filter. Using solid-state NMR and molecular dynamics simulations in a variety of KcsA mutants, here we show that modal gating shifts in K+ channels are associated with important changes in the channel dynamics that strongly perturb the selectivity filter equilibrium conformation. Furthermore, our study reveals a drastically different motional and conformational selectivity filter landscape in a mutant that mimics voltage-gated K+ channels, which provides a foundation for an improved understanding of eukaryotic K+ channels. Altogether, our results provide a high-resolution perspective on some of the complex functional behaviour of K+ channels.

Abstract
In the cellular environment, biomolecules assemble in large complexes which can act as molecular machines. Determining the structure of intact assemblies can reveal conformations and inter-molecular interactions that are only present in the context of the full assembly. Solid-state NMR (ssNMR) spectroscopy is a technique suitable for the study of samples with high molecular weight that allows the atomic structure determination of such large protein assemblies under nearly physiological conditions. This review provides a practical guide for the first steps of studying biological supra-molecular assemblies using ssNMR. The production of isotope-labeled samples is achievable via several means, which include recombinant expression, cell-free protein synthesis, extraction of assemblies directly from cells, or even the study of assemblies in whole cells in situ. Specialized isotope labeling schemes greatly facilitate the assignment of chemical shifts and the collection of structural data. Advanced strategies such as mixed, diluted, or segmental subunit labeling offer the possibility to study inter-molecular interfaces. Detailed and practical considerations are presented with respect to first setting up magic-angle spinning (MAS) ssNMR experiments, including the selection of the ssNMR rotor, different methods to best transfer the sample and prepare the rotor, as well as common and robust procedures for the calibration of the instrument. Diagnostic spectra to evaluate the resolution and sensitivity of the sample are presented. Possible improvements that can reduce sample heterogeneity and improve the quality of ssNMR spectra are reviewed.

Abstract
Microsecond to millisecond timescale backbone dynamics of the amyloid core residues in Y145Stop human prion protein (PrP) fibrils were investigated by using 15 N rotating frame (R1ρ ) relaxation dispersion solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy over a wide range of spin-lock fields. Numerical simulations enabled the experimental relaxation dispersion profiles for most of the fibril core residues to be modelled by using a two-state exchange process with a common exchange rate of 1000 s-1 , corresponding to protein backbone motion on the timescale of 1 ms, and an excited-state population of 2 %. We also found that the relaxation dispersion profiles for several amino acids positioned near the edges of the most structured regions of the amyloid core were better modelled by assuming somewhat higher excited-state populations (∼5-15 %) and faster exchange rate constants, corresponding to protein backbone motions on the timescale of ∼100-300 μs. The slow backbone dynamics of the core residues were evaluated in the context of the structural model of human Y145Stop PrP amyloid.

Abstract
Nanometer-range distances are important for restraining the three-dimensional structure and oligomeric assembly of proteins and other biological molecules. Solid-state NMR determination of protein structures typically utilizes 13C-13C and 13C-15N distance restraints, which can only be measured up to ∼7 Å because of the low gyromagnetic ratios of these nuclear spins. To extend the distance reach of NMR, one can harvest the power of 19F, whose large gyromagnetic ratio in principle allows distances up to 2 nm to be measured. However, 19F possesses large chemical shift anisotropies (CSAs) as well as large isotropic chemical shift dispersions, which pose challenges to dipolar coupling measurements. Here, we demonstrate 19F-19F distance measurements at high magnetic fields under fast magic-angle spinning (MAS) using radiofrequency-driven dipolar recoupling (RFDR). We show that 19F-19F cross-peaks for distances up to 1 nm can be readily observed in two-dimensional 19F-19F correlation spectra using less than 5 ms of RFDR mixing. This efficient 19F-19F dipolar recoupling is achieved using practically accessible MAS frequencies of 15-55 kHz, moderate 19F radio frequency field strengths, and no 1H decoupling. Experiments and simulations show that the fastest polarization transfer for aromatic fluorines with the highest distance accuracy is achieved using either fast MAS (e.g., 60 kHz) with large pulse duty cycles (>50%) or slow MAS with strong 19F pulses. Fast MAS considerably reduces relaxation losses during the RFDR π-pulse train, making finite-pulse RFDR under fast-MAS the method of choice. Under intermediate MAS frequencies (25-40 kHz) and intermediate pulse duty cycles (15-30%), the 19F CSA tensor orientation has a quantifiable effect on the polarization transfer rate; thus, the RFDR buildup curves encode both distance and orientation information. At fast MAS, the impact of CSA orientation is minimized, allowing pure distance restraints to be extracted. We further investigate how relayed transfer and dipolar truncation in multifluorine environments affect polarization transfer. This fast-MAS 19F RFDR approach is complementary to 19F spin diffusion for distance measurements and will be the method of choice under high-field fast-MAS conditions that are increasingly important for protein structure determination by solid-state NMR.

Abstract
The bacterial cell wall is composed of the peptidoglycan (PG), a large polymer that maintains the integrity of the bacterial cell. Due to its multi-gigadalton size, heterogeneity, and dynamics, atomic-resolution studies are inherently complex. Solid-state NMR is an important technique to gain insight into its structure, dynamics and interactions. Here, we explore the possibilities to study the PG with ultra-fast (100 kHz) magic-angle spinning NMR. We demonstrate that highly resolved spectra can be obtained, and show strategies to obtain site-specific resonance assignments and distance information. We also explore the use of proton-proton correlation experiments, thus opening the way for NMR studies of intact cell walls without the need for isotope labeling.

Abstract
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) is a spectroscopic technique that is used for characterization of molecular properties in the solid phase at atomic resolution. In particular, using the approach of magic-angle spinning (MAS), ssNMR has seen widespread applications for topics ranging from material sciences to catalysis, metabolomics, and structural biology, where both isotropic and anisotropic parameters can be exploited for a detailed assessment of molecular properties. High-resolution detection of protons long represented the holy grail of the field. With its high natural abundance and high gyromagnetic ratio, 1H has naturally been the most important nucleus type for the solution counterpart of NMR spectroscopy. In the solid state, similar benefits are obtained over detection of heteronuclei, however, a rocky road led to its success as their high gyromagnetic ratio has also been associated with various detrimental effects. Two exciting approaches have been developed in recent years that enable proton detection: After partial deuteration of the sample to reduce the proton spin density, the exploitation of protons could begin. Also, faster MAS, nowadays using tiny rotors with frequencies up to 130 kHz, has relieved the need for expensive deuteration. Apart from the sheer gain in sensitivity from choosing protons as the detection nucleus, the proton chemical shift and several other useful aspects of protons have revolutionized the field. In this Account, we are describing the fundamentals of proton detection as well as the arising possibilities for characterization of biomolecules as associated with the developments in our own lab. In particular, we focus on facilitated chemical-shift assignment, structure calculation based on protons, and on assessment of dynamics in solid proteins. For example, the proton chemical-shift dimension adds additional information for resonance assignments in the protein backbone and side chains. Chemical shifts and high gyromagnetic ratio of protons enable direct readout of spatial information over large distances. Dynamics in the protein backbone or side chains can be characterized efficiently using protons as reporters. For all of this, the sample amounts necessary for a given signal-to-noise have drastically shrunk, and new methodology enables assessment of molecules with increasing monomer molecular weight and complexity. Taken together, protons are able to overcome previous limitations, by speeding up processes, enhancing accuracies, and increasing the accessible ranges of ssNMR spectroscopy, as we shall discuss in detail in the following. In particular, these methodological developments have been pushing solid-state NMR into a new regime of biological topics as they realistically allow access to complex cellular molecules, elucidating their functions and interactions in a multitude of ways.

Abstract
The prerequisite to structural or functional studies of proteins by NMR is generally the assignment of resonances. Since the first assignment of proteins by solid-state MAS NMR was conducted almost two decades ago, a wide variety of different pulse sequences and methods have been proposed and continue to be developed. Traditionally, a variety of 2D and 3D 13C-detected experiments have been used for the assignment of backbone and side-chain 13C and 15N resonances. These methods have found widespread use across the field. But as the hardware has changed and higher spinning frequencies and magnetic fields are becoming available, the ability to use direct proton detection is opening up a new set of assignment methods based on triple-resonance experiments. This review describes solid-state MAS NMR assignment methods using carbon detection and proton detection at different deuteration levels. The use of different isotopic labelling schemes as an aid to assignment in difficult cases is discussed as well as the increasing number of software packages that support manual and automated resonance assignment.

Abstract
Solid-state near-rotary-resonance measurements of the spin-lattice relaxation rate in the rotating frame (R1ρ) is a powerful NMR technique for studying molecular dynamics in the microsecond time scale. The small difference between the spin-lock (SL) and magic-angle-spinning (MAS) frequencies allows sampling very slow motions, at the same time it brings up some methodological challenges. In this work, several issues affecting correct measurements and analysis of 15N R1ρ data are considered in detail. Among them are signal amplitude as a function of the difference between SL and MAS frequencies, "dead time" in the initial part of the relaxation decay caused by transient spin-dynamic oscillations, measurements under HORROR condition and proper treatment of the multi-exponential relaxation decays. The multiple 15N R1ρ measurements at different SL fields and temperatures have been conducted in 1D mode (i.e. without site-specific resolution) for a set of four different microcrystalline protein samples (GB1, SH3, MPD-ubiquitin and cubic-PEG-ubiquitin) to study the overall protein rocking in a crystal. While the amplitude of this motion varies very significantly, its correlation time for all four sample is practically the same, 30-50 μs. The amplitude of the rocking motion correlates with the packing density of a protein crystal. It has been suggested that the rocking motion is not diffusive but likely a jump-like dynamic process.

Abstract
We present a new solid-state NMR proton-detected three-dimensional experiment dedicated to the observation of protein proton side chain resonances in nano-liter volumes. The experiment takes advantage of very fast magic angle spinning and double quantum 13C-13C transfer to establish efficient (H)CCH correlations detected on side chain protons. Our approach is demonstrated on the HET-s prion domain in its functional amyloid fibrillar form, fully protonated, with a sample amount of less than 500 µg using a MAS frequency of 70 kHz. The majority of aliphatic and aromatic side chain protons (70%) are observable, in addition to Hα resonances, in a single experiment providing a complementary approach to the established proton-detected amide-based multidimensional solid-state NMR experiments for the study and resonance assignment of biosolid samples, in particular for aromatic side chain resonances.

Abstract
Building on a decade of continuous advances of the community, the recent development of very fast (60 kHz and above) magic-angle spinning (MAS) probes has revolutionised the field of solid-state NMR. This new spinning regime reduces the 1H-1H dipolar couplings, so that direct detection of the larger magnetic moment available from 1H is now possible at high resolution, not only in deuterated molecules but also in fully-protonated substrates. Such capabilities allow rapid "fingerprinting" of samples with a ten-fold reduction of the required sample amounts with respect to conventional approaches, and permit extensive, robust and expeditious assignment of small-to-medium sized proteins (up to ca. 300 residues), and the determination of inter-nuclear proximities, relative orientations of secondary structural elements, protein-cofactor interactions, local and global dynamics. Fast MAS and 1H detection techniques have nowadays been shown to be applicable to membrane-bound systems. This paper reviews the strategies underlying this recent leap forward in sensitivity and resolution, describing its potential for the detailed characterization of membrane proteins.

Abstract
Through-bond J-coupling based experiments in solid-state NMR spectroscopy are challenging because the J couplings are typically much smaller than the dipolar couplings. This often leads to a lower transfer efficiency compared to dipolar-coupling based sequences. One of the reasons for the low transfer efficiency are the second-order cross terms involving the strong heteronuclear dipolar couplings leading to fast magnetization decay. Here, we show that by employing a symmetry-based C9 sequence, which was carefully selected to suppress second-order terms, efficient polarization transfers of up to 80% can be achieved without decoupling on fully protonated two-spin model systems at a MAS frequency of 55.5 kHz with rf-field amplitudes of about 25 kHz. In addition, we analyse the effects of rf inhomogeneity and crystallites selection due to the polarization preparation method on the TOBSY transfer efficiency. We demonstrate on small model substances as well as on deuterated and 100% back-exchanged ubiquitin that C9391 and C9481 are efficient and practical TOBSY sequences at experimental conditions ranging from proton Larmor frequencies of 400-850 MHz, and MAS frequencies ranging from 55.5 to 111.1 kHz.

Abstract
As a result of profound gains in sensitivity and resolution afforded by ultrahigh magnetic fields, transformative applications in the fields of structural biology and materials science are being realized. The development of dual low temperature superconducting (LTS)/high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets has enabled the achievement of magnetic fields above 1 GHz (23.5 T), which will open doors to an unprecedented new range of applications. In this contribution, we discuss the promise of ultrahigh field magnetic resonance. We highlight several methodological developments pertinent at high-magnetic fields including measurement of 1H-1H distances and 1H chemical shift anisotropy in the solid state as well as studies of quadrupolar nuclei such as 17O. Higher magnetic fields have advanced heteronuclear detection in solution NMR, valuable for applications including metabolomics and disordered proteins, as well as expanded use of proton detection in the solid state in conjunction with ultrafast magic angle spinning. We also present several recent applications to structural studies of the AP205 bacteriophage, the M2 channel from Influenza A, and biomaterials such as human bone. Gains in sensitivity and resolution from increased field strengths will enable advanced applications of NMR spectroscopy including in vivo studies of whole cells and intact virions.

Abstract
Conventional NMR pulse sequences record one spectrum per experiment, while spending most of the time waiting for the spin system to return to the equilibrium. As a result, a full set of multidimensional NMR experiments for biological macromolecules may take up to several months to complete. Here, we present a practical guide for setting up a new class of MAS solid-state NMR experiments (POE or polarization optimized experiments) that enable the simultaneous acquisition of multiple spectra of proteins, accelerating data acquisition. POE exploit the long-lived 15N polarization of isotopically labeled proteins and enable one to obtain up to eight spectra, by concatenating classical NMR pulse sequences. This new strategy propels data throughput of solid-state NMR spectroscopy of fibers, microcrystalline preparations, as well as membrane proteins.

Abstract
The development of a methodology for the structural characterization at atomic detail of proteins conjugated to nanoparticles would be a breakthrough in nanotechnology. Solution and solid-state NMR spectroscopies are currently used to investigate molecules and peptides grafted onto nanoparticles, but the strategies used so far fall short in the application to proteins, which represent a thrilling development in theranostics. We here demonstrate the feasibility of highly-resolved multidimensional heteronuclear spectra of a large protein assembly conjugated to PEGylated gold nanoparticles. The spectra have been obtained by direct proton detection under fast MAS and allow for both a fast fingerprinting for the assessment of the preservation of the native fold and for resonance assignment. We thus demonstrate that the structural characterization and the application of the structure-based methodologies to proteins bound to gold nanoparticles is feasible and potentially extensible to other hybrid protein-nanomaterials.

Abstract
Extensive deuteration is frequently used in solid-state NMR studies of biomolecules because it dramatically reduces both homonuclear (1H-1H) and heteronuclear (1H-13C and 1H-15N) dipolar interactions. This approach greatly improves resolution, enables low-power rf decoupling, and facilitates 1H-detected experiments even in rigid solids at moderate MAS rates. However, the resolution enhancement is obtained at some cost due the reduced abundance of protons available for polarization transfer. Although deuterium is a useful spin-1 NMR nucleus, in typical experiments the deuterons are not directly utilized because the available probes are usually triple-tuned to 1H,13C and 15N. Here we describe a 1H/13C/2H/15N MAS ssNMR probe designed for solid-state NMR of extensively deuterated biomolecules. The probe utilizes coaxial coils, with a modified Alderman-Grant resonator for the 1H channel, and a multiply resonant solenoid for 13C/2H/15N. A coaxial tuning-tube design is used for all four channels in order to efficiently utilize the constrained physical space available inside the magnet bore. Isolation among the channels is likewise achieved using short, adjustable transmission line elements. We present benchmarks illustrating the tuning of each channel and isolation among them and the magnetic field profiles at each frequency of interest. Finally, representative NMR data are shown demonstrating the performance of both the detection and decoupling circuits.

SOLID STATE NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE 2017; 87:126-136. [PMID: 28802890 DOI: 10.1016/j.ssnmr.2017.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2017] [Revised: 07/14/2017] [Accepted: 07/24/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
1H-detection in solid-state NMR of proteins has been traditionally combined with deuteration for both resolution and sensitivity reasons, with the optimal level of proton dilution being dependent on MAS rate. Here we present 1H-detected 15N and 13C CP-HSQC spectra on two microcrystalline samples acquired at 60 and 111 kHz MAS and at ultra-high field. We critically compare the benefits of three labeling schemes yielding different levels of proton content in terms of resolution, coherence lifetimes and feasibility of scalar-based 2D correlations under these experimental conditions. We observe unexpectedly high resolution and sensitivity of aromatic resonances in 2D 13C-1H correlation spectra of protonated samples. Ultrafast MAS reduces or even removes the necessity of 1H dilution for high-resolution 1H-detection in biomolecular solid-state NMR. It yields 15N,1H and 13C,1H fingerprint spectra of exceptional resolution for fully protonated samples, with notably superior 1H and 13C lineshapes for side-chain resonances.

Abstract
The recent breakthroughs in NMR probe technologies resulted in the development of MAS NMR probes with rotation frequencies exceeding 100 kHz. Herein, we explore dramatic increases in sensitivity and resolution observed at MAS frequencies of 110-111 kHz in a novel 0.7 mm HCND probe that enable structural analysis of fully protonated biological systems. Proton- detected 2D and 3D correlation spectroscopy under such conditions requires only 0.1-0.5 mg of sample and a fraction of time compared to conventional 13C-detected experiments. We discuss the performance of several proton- and heteronuclear- (13C-,15N-) based correlation experiments in terms of sensitivity and resolution, using a model microcrystalline fMLF tripeptide. We demonstrate the applications of ultrafast MAS to a large, fully protonated protein assembly of the 231-residue HIV-1 CA capsid protein. Resonance assignments of protons and heteronuclei, as well as 1H-15N dipolar and 1HN CSA tensors are readily obtained from the high sensitivity and resolution proton-detected 3D experiments. The approach demonstrated here is expected to enable the determination of atomic-resolution structures of large protein assemblies, inaccessible by current methodologies.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR is able to generate structural data on sample preparations that are explicitly non-crystalline. In particular, for amyloid fibril samples, which can comprise significant degrees of sample disorder, solid-state NMR has been used very successfully. But also solid-state NMR studies of other supramolecular assemblies that have resisted assessment by more standard methods are being performed with increasing ease and biological impact, many of which are briefly reviewed here. New technical trends with respect to structure calculation, protein dynamics and smaller sample amounts have reshaped the field of solid-state NMR recently. In particular, proton-detected approaches based on fast Magic-Angle Spinning (MAS) were demonstrated for crystalline systems initially. Currently, such approaches are being expanded to the above-mentioned non-crystalline targets, the characterization of which can now be pursued with sample amounts on the order of a milligram. In this Trends article, I am giving a brief overview about achievements of the last years as well as the directions that the field has been heading into and delineate some satisfactory perspectives for solid-state NMR's future striving.

Abstract
1H-detected solid-state NMR in combination with 1H/2D exchange steps allows for the direct identification of very strong hydrogen bonds in membrane proteins. On the example of the membrane-embedded potassium channel KcsA, we quantify the longevity of such very strong hydrogen bonds by combining time-resolved 1H-detected solid-state NMR experiments and molecular dynamics simulations. In particular, we show that the carboxyl-side chain of the highly conserved residue Glu51 is involved in ultra-strong hydrogen bonds, which are fully-water-exposed and yet stable for weeks. The astonishing stability of these hydrogen bonds is important for the structural integrity of potassium channels, which we further corroborate by computational studies.

Abstract
In this report we present site-specific measurements of amide hydrogen-deuterium exchange rates in a protein in the solid state phase by MAS NMR. Employing perdeuteration, proton detection and a high external magnetic field we could adopt the highly efficient Relax-EXSY protocol previously developed for liquid state NMR. According to this method, we measured the contribution of hydrogen exchange on apparent 15N longitudinal relaxation rates in samples with differing D2O buffer content. Differences in the apparent T1 times allowed us to derive exchange rates for multiple residues in the type III secretion system needle protein.

Abstract
![]()
The
structures and properties of membrane proteins in lipid bilayers are
expected to closely resemble those in native cell-membrane environments,
although they have been difficult to elucidate. By performing solid-state
NMR measurements at very fast (100 kHz) magic-angle spinning rates
and at high (23.5 T) magnetic field, severe sensitivity and resolution
challenges are overcome, enabling the atomic-level characterization
of membrane proteins in lipid environments. This is demonstrated by
extensive 1H-based resonance assignments of the fully protonated
heptahelical membrane protein proteorhodopsin, and the efficient identification
of numerous 1H–1H dipolar interactions,
which provide distance constraints, inter-residue proximities, relative
orientations of secondary structural elements, and protein–cofactor
interactions in the hydrophobic transmembrane regions. These results
establish a general approach for high-resolution structural studies
of membrane proteins in lipid environments via solid-state NMR.

Abstract
MAS solid-state NMR is capable of determining structures of protonated solid proteins using proton-detected experiments. These experiments are performed at MAS rotation frequency of around 110 kHz, employing 0.5 mg of material. Here, we compare 1H, 13C correlation spectra obtained from protonated and deuterated microcrystalline proteins at MAS rotation frequency of 111 kHz, and show that the spectral quality obtained from deuterated samples is superior to those acquired using protonated samples in terms of resolution and sensitivity. In comparison to protonated samples, spectra obtained from deuterated samples yield a gain in resolution on the order of 3 and 2 in the proton and carbon dimensions, respectively. Additionally, the spectrum from the deuterated sample yields approximately 2–3 times more sensitivity compared to the spectrum of a protonated sample. This gain could be further increased by a factor of 2 by making use of stereospecific precursors for biosynthesis. Although the overall resolution and sensitivity of 1H, 13C correlation spectra obtained using protonated solid samples with rotation frequencies on the order of 110 kHz is high, the spectral quality is still poor when compared to the deuterated samples. We believe that experiments involving large protein complexes in which sensitivity is limiting will benefit from the application of deuteration schemes.

Abstract
Membrane proteins mediate flow of molecules, signals, and energy between cells and intracellular compartments. Understanding membrane protein function requires a detailed understanding of the structural and dynamic properties involved. Lipid bilayers provide a native-like environment for structure-function investigations of membrane proteins. In this review we give a general discourse on the recent progress in the field of solid-state NMR of membrane proteins. Solid-state NMR is a variation of NMR spectroscopy that is applicable to molecular systems with restricted mobility, such as high molecular weight proteins and protein complexes, supramolecular assemblies, or membrane proteins in a phospholipid environment. We highlight recent advances in applications of solid-state NMR to membrane proteins, specifically focusing on the recent developments in the field of Dynamic Nuclear Polarization, proton detection, and solid-state NMR applications in situ (in cell membranes).

Abstract
Very fast magic-angle spinning (MAS > 80 kHz) NMR combined with high-field magnets has enabled the acquisition of proton-detected spectra in fully protonated solid samples with sufficient resolution and sensitivity. One of the primary challenges in structure determination of protein is observing long-range 1H-1H contacts. Here we use band-selective spin-lock pulses to obtain selective 1H-1H contacts (e.g., HN-HN) on the order of 5-6 Å in fully protonated proteins at 111 kHz MAS. This approach is a major advancement in structural characterization of proteins given that magnetization can be selectively transferred between protons that are 5-6 Å apart despite the presence of other protons at shorter distance. The observed contacts are similar to those previously observed only in perdeuterated proteins with selective protonation. Simulations and experiments show the proposed method has performance that is superior to that of the currently used methods. The method is demonstrated on GB1 and a β-barrel membrane protein, AlkL.

Applications of NMR to membrane proteins. Arch Biochem Biophys 2017; 628:92-101.

Abstract
Membrane proteins present a challenge for structural biology. In this article, we review some of the recent developments that advance the application of NMR to membrane proteins, with emphasis on structural studies in detergent-free, lipid bilayer samples that resemble the native environment. NMR spectroscopy is not only ideally suited for structure determination of membrane proteins in hydrated lipid bilayer membranes, but also highly complementary to the other principal techniques based on X-ray and electron diffraction. Recent advances in NMR instrumentation, spectroscopic methods, computational methods, and sample preparations are driving exciting new efforts in membrane protein structural biology.

Abstract
Protons are vastly abundant in a wide range of exciting macromolecules and thus can be a powerful probe to investigate the structure and dynamics at atomic resolution using solid-state NMR (ssNMR) spectroscopy. Unfortunately, the high signal sensitivity, afforded by the high natural-abundance and high gyromagnetic ratio of protons, is greatly compromised by severe line broadening due to the very strong 1H-1H dipolar couplings. As a result, protons are rarely used, in spite of the desperate need for enhancing the sensitivity of ssNMR to study a variety of systems that are not amenable for high resolution investigation using other techniques including X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy, and solution NMR spectroscopy. Thanks to the remarkable improvement in proton spectral resolution afforded by the significant advances in magic-angle-spinning (MAS) probe technology, 1H ssNMR spectroscopy has recently attracted considerable attention in the structural and dynamics studies of various molecular systems. However, it still remains a challenge to obtain narrow 1H spectral lines, especially from proteins, without resorting to deuteration. In this Account, we review recent proton-based ssNMR strategies that have been developed in our laboratory to further improve proton spectral resolution without resorting to chemical deuteration for the purposes of gaining atomistic-level insights into molecular structures of various crystalline solid systems, using small molecules and peptides as illustrative examples. The proton spectral resolution enhancement afforded by the ultrafast MAS frequencies up to 120 kHz is initially discussed, followed by a description of an ensemble of multidimensional NMR pulse sequences, all based on proton detection, that have been developed to obtain in-depth information from dipolar couplings and chemical shift anisotropy (CSA). Simple single channel multidimensional proton NMR experiments could be performed to probe the proximity of protons for structure determination using 1H-1H dipolar couplings and to evaluate the changes in chemical environments as well as the relative orientation to the external magnetic field using proton CSA. Due to the boost in signal sensitivity enabled by proton detection under ultrafast MAS, by virtue of high proton natural abundance and gyromagnetic ratio, proton-detected multidimensional experiments involving low-γ nuclei can now be accomplished within a reasonable time, while the higher dimension also offers additional resolution enhancement. In addition, the application of proton-based ssNMR spectroscopy under ultrafast MAS in various challenging and crystalline systems is also presented. Finally, we briefly discuss the limitations and challenges pertaining to proton-based ssNMR spectroscopy under ultrafast MAS conditions, such as the presence of high-order dipolar couplings, friction-induced sample heating, and limited sample volume. Although there are still a number of challenges that must be circumvented by further developments in radio frequency pulse sequences, MAS probe technology and approaches to prepare NMR-friendly samples, proton-based ssNMR has already gained much popularity in various research domains, especially in proteins where uniform or site-selective deuteration can be relatively easily achieved. In addition, implementation of the recently developed fast data acquisition approaches would also enable further developments in the design and applications of proton-based ultrafast MAS multidimensional ssNMR techniques.

Backbone assignment of perdeuterated proteins by solid-state NMR using proton detection and ultrafast magic-angle spinning. Nat Protoc 2017; 12:764-782.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR (ssNMR) is a technique that allows the study of protein structure and dynamics at atomic detail. In contrast to X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy, proteins can be studied under physiological conditions-for example, in a lipid bilayer and at room temperature (0-35 °C). However, ssNMR requires considerable amounts (milligram quantities) of isotopically labeled samples. In recent years, 1H-detection of perdeuterated protein samples has been proposed as a method of alleviating the sensitivity issue. Such methods are, however, substantially more demanding to the spectroscopist, as compared with traditional 13C-detected approaches. As a guide, this protocol describes a procedure for the chemical shift assignment of the backbone atoms of proteins in the solid state by 1H-detected ssNMR. It requires a perdeuterated, uniformly 13C- and 15N-labeled protein sample with subsequent proton back-exchange to the labile sites. The sample needs to be spun at a minimum of 40 kHz in the NMR spectrometer. With a minimal set of five 3D NMR spectra, the protein backbone and some of the side-chain atoms can be completely assigned. These spectra correlate resonances within one amino acid residue and between neighboring residues; taken together, these correlations allow for complete chemical shift assignment via a 'backbone walk'. This results in a backbone chemical shift table, which is the basis for further analysis of the protein structure and/or dynamics by ssNMR. Depending on the spectral quality and complexity of the protein, data acquisition and analysis are possible within 2 months.

Abstract
Interactions within proteins, with their surrounding, and with other molecules are mediated mostly by hydrogen atoms. In fully protonated, inhomogeneous, or larger proteins, however, aliphatic proton shifts tend to show little dispersion despite fast Magic-Angle Spinning. 3D correlations dispersing aliphatic proton shifts by their better resolved amide N/H shifts can alleviate this problem. Using inverse second-order cross-polarization (iSOCP), we here introduce dedicated and improved means to sensitively link site-specific chemical shift information from aliphatic protons with a backbone amide resolution. Thus, even in cases where protein deuteration is impossible, this approach may enable access to various aspects of protein functions that are reported on by protons.

Abstract
In recent years, exciting developments in instrument technology and experimental methodology have advanced the field of magic-angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to new heights. Contemporary MAS NMR yields atomic-level insights into structure and dynamics of an astounding range of biological systems, many of which cannot be studied by other methods. With the advent of fast MAS, proton detection, and novel pulse sequences, large supramolecular assemblies, such as cytoskeletal proteins and intact viruses, are now accessible for detailed analysis. In this review, we will discuss the current MAS NMR methodologies that enable characterization of complex biomolecular systems and will present examples of applications to several classes of assemblies comprising bacterial and mammalian cytoskeleton as well as human immunodeficiency virus 1 and bacteriophage viruses. The body of work reviewed herein is representative of the recent advancements in the field, with respect to the complexity of the systems studied, the quality of the data, and the significance to the biology.

Abstract
Fast magic-angle spinning (>60 kHz) has many advantages but makes spin-diffusion-type proton-proton long-range polarization transfer inefficient and highly dependent on chemical-shift offset. Using 100%-HN-[2H,13C,15N]-ubiquitin as a model substance, we quantify the influence of the chemical-shift difference on the spin diffusion between proton spins and compare two experiments which lead to an improved chemical-shift compensation of the transfer: rotating-frame spin diffusion and a new experiment, reverse amplitude-modulated MIRROR. Both approaches enable broadband spin diffusion, but the application of the first variant is limited due to fast spin relaxation in the rotating frame. The reverse MIRROR experiment, in contrast, is a promising candidate for the determination of structurally relevant distance restraints. The applied tailored rf-irradiation schemes allow full control over the range of recoupled chemical shifts and efficiently drive spin diffusion. Here, the relevant relaxation time is the larger longitudinal relaxation time, which leads to a higher signal-to-noise ratio in the spectra.

Abstract
It has been slightly more than fifty years since the first homonuclear spin decoupling scheme, Lee-Goldburg decoupling, was proposed for removing homonuclear dipolar interactions in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. A family of such schemes has made observation of high-resolution NMR spectra of abundant spins possible in various applications in solid state. This review outlines the strategies used in this field and the future prospects of homonuclear spin decoupling in solid-state NMR.

Abstract
1 H detection can significantly improve solid-state NMR spectral sensitivity and thereby allows studying more complex proteins. However, the common prerequisite for 1 H detection is the introduction of exchangeable protons in otherwise deuterated proteins, which has thus far significantly hampered studies of partly water-inaccessible proteins, such as membrane proteins. Herein, we present an approach that enables high-resolution 1 H-detected solid-state NMR (ssNMR) studies of water-inaccessible proteins, and that even works in highly complex environments such as cellular surfaces. In particular, the method was applied to study the K+ channel KcsA in liposomes and in situ in native bacterial cell membranes. We used our data for a dynamic analysis, and we show that the selectivity filter, which is responsible for ion conduction and highly conserved in K+ channels, undergoes pronounced molecular motion. We expect this approach to open new avenues for biomolecular ssNMR.

Nishiyama Y. Fast magic-angle sample spinning solid-state NMR at 60-100kHz for natural abundance samples. SOLID STATE NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE 2016; 78:24-36. [PMID: 27400153 DOI: 10.1016/j.ssnmr.2016.06.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 93] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2016] [Revised: 06/07/2016] [Accepted: 06/08/2016] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
In spite of tremendous progress made in pulse sequence designs and sophisticated hardware developments, methods to improve sensitivity and resolution in solid-state NMR (ssNMR) are still emerging. The rate at which sample is spun at magic angle determines the extent to which sensitivity and resolution of NMR spectra are improved. To this end, the prime objective of this article is to give a comprehensive theoretical and experimental framework of fast magic angle spinning (MAS) technique. The engineering design of fast MAS rotors based on spinning rate, sample volume, and sensitivity is presented in detail. Besides, the benefits of fast MAS citing the recent progress in methodology, especially for natural abundance samples are also highlighted. The effect of the MAS rate on (1)H resolution, which is a key to the success of the (1)H inverse detection methods, is described by a simple mathematical factor named as the homogeneity factor k. A comparison between various (1)H inverse detection methods is also presented. Moreover, methods to reduce the number of spinning sidebands (SSBs) for the systems with huge anisotropies in combination with (1)H inverse detection at fast MAS are discussed.
