Abstract
Microalgae are a renewable and promising biomass for large-scale biofuel, food and nutrient production. However, their efficient exploitation depends on our knowledge of the cell wall composition and organization as it can limit access to high-value molecules. Here we provide an atomic-level model of the non-crystalline and water-insoluble glycoprotein-rich cell wall of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Using in situ solid-state and sensitivity-enhanced nuclear magnetic resonance, we reveal unprecedented details on the protein and carbohydrate composition and their nanoscale heterogeneity, as well as the presence of spatially segregated protein- and glycan-rich regions with different dynamics and hydration levels. We show that mannose-rich lower-molecular-weight proteins likely contribute to the cell wall cohesion by binding to high-molecular weight protein components, and that water provides plasticity to the cell-wall architecture. The structural insight exemplifies strategies used by nature to form cell walls devoid of cellulose or other glycan polymers.

Abstract
In the last decades, ligand binding to human TSPO has been largely used in clinical neuroimaging, but little is known about the interaction mechanism. Protein conformational mobility plays a key role in the ligand recognition and both, ligand-free and ligand-bound structures, are mandatory for characterizing the molecular binding mechanism. In the absence of crystals for mammalian TSPO, we have exploited solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) spectroscopy under magic-angle spinning (MAS) to study the apo form of recombinant mouse TSPO (mTSPO) reconstituted in lipids. This environment has been previously described to permit binding of its high-affinity drug ligand PK11195 and appears therefore favourable for the study of molecular dynamics. We have optimized the physical conditions to get the best resolution for MAS ssNMR spectra of the ligand-free mTSPO. We have compared and combined various ssNMR spectra to get dynamical information either for the lipids or for the mTSPO. Partial assignment of residue types suggests few agreements with the published solution NMR assignment of the PK11195-bound mTSPO in DPC detergent. Moreover, we were able to observe some lateral chains of aromatic residues that were not assigned in solution. 13C double-quantum NMR spectroscopy shows remarkable dynamics for ligand-free mTSPO in lipids which may have significant implications on the recognition of the ligand and/or other protein partners.

Abstract
In the last two decades, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) spectroscopy has transformed from a spectroscopic technique investigating small molecules and industrial polymers to a potent tool decrypting structure and underlying dynamics of complex biological systems, such as membrane proteins, fibrils, and assemblies, in near-physiological environments and temperatures. This transformation can be ascribed to improvements in hardware design, sample preparation, pulsed methods, isotope labeling strategies, resolution, and sensitivity. The fundamental engagement between nuclear spins and radio-frequency pulses in the presence of a strong static magnetic field is identical between solution and ssNMR, but the experimental procedures vastly differ because of the absence of molecular tumbling in solids. This review discusses routinely employed state-of-the-art static and MAS pulsed NMR methods relevant for biological samples with rotational correlation times exceeding 100's of nanoseconds. Recent developments in signal filtering approaches, proton methodologies, and multiple acquisition techniques to boost sensitivity and speed up data acquisition at fast MAS are also discussed. Several examples of protein structures (globular, membrane, fibrils, and assemblies) solved with ssNMR spectroscopy have been considered. We also discuss integrated approaches to structurally characterize challenging biological systems and some newly emanating subdisciplines in ssNMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
Microalgae are photosynthetic organisms widely distributed in nature and serve as a sustainable source of bioproducts. Their carbohydrate components are also promising candidates for bioenergy production and bioremediation, but the structural characterization of these heterogeneous polymers in cells remains a formidable problem. Here we present a widely applicable protocol for identifying and quantifying the glycan content using magic-angle-spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR (ssNMR) spectroscopy, with validation from glycosyl linkage and composition analysis deduced from mass-spectrometry (MS). Two-dimensional 13C-13C correlation ssNMR spectra of a uniformly 13C-labeled green microalga Parachlorella beijerinckii reveal that starch is the most abundant polysaccharide in a naturally cellulose-deficient strain, and this polymer adopts a well-organized and highly rigid structure in the cell. Some xyloses are present in both the mobile and rigid domains of the cell wall, with their chemical shifts partially aligned with the flat-ribbon 2-fold xylan identified in plants. Surprisingly, most other carbohydrates are largely mobile, regardless of their distribution in glycolipids or cell walls. These structural insights correlate with the high digestibility of this cellulose-deficient strain, and the in-cell ssNMR methods will facilitate the investigations of other economically important algae species.

Abstract
When combined with high-frequency (currently ∼60 kHz) magic-angle spinning (MAS), proton detection boosts sensitivity and increases coherence lifetimes, resulting in narrow ((1))H lines. Herein, we review methods for efficient proton detected techniques and applications in highly deuterated proteins, with an emphasis on 100% selected ((1))H site concentration for the purpose of sensitivity. We discuss the factors affecting resolution and sensitivity that have resulted in higher and higher frequency MAS. Next we describe the various methods that have been used for backbone and side-chain assignment with proton detection, highlighting the efficient use of scalar-based ((13))C-((13))C transfers. Additionally, we show new spectra making use of these schemes for side-chain assignment of methyl ((13))C-((1))H resonances. The rapid acquisition of resolved 2D spectra with proton detection allows efficient measurement of relaxation parameters used as a measure of dynamic processes. Under rapid MAS, relaxation times can be measured in a site-specific manner in medium-sized proteins, enabling the investigation of molecular motions at high resolution. Additionally, we discuss methods for measurement of structural parameters, including measurement of internuclear ((1))H-((1))H contacts and the use of paramagnetic effects in the determination of global structure.

Abstract
Heteronucleus-detected dipolar based correlation spectroscopy is established for assignments of ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N resonances and structural analysis in fully protonated proteins. We demonstrate that ¹³C detected 3D experiments are highly efficient and permit assignments of the majority of backbone resonances, as shown in an 89-residue dynein light chain 8, LC8 protein. With these experiments, we have resolved many ambiguities that were persistent in our previous studies using moderate MAS frequencies and lacking the ¹H dimension. The availability of ¹H isotropic chemical shifts measured with the heteronucleus-detected fast-MAS experiments presented here is essential for the accurate determination of the ¹H CSA tensors, which provide very useful structural probe. Finally, our results indicate that ¹³C detection in fast-MAS HETCOR experiments may be advantageous compared with ¹H detection as it yields datasets of significantly higher resolution in the ¹³C dimension than the ¹H detected HETCOR versions.

Abstract
The refocused insensitive nuclei enhanced by polarization transfer (RINEPT) technique is commonly used for heteronuclear polarization transfer in solution and solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Suppression of dipolar couplings, either by fast molecular motions in solution or by a combination of MAS and multiple pulse sequences in solids, enables the polarization transfer via scalar couplings. However, the presence of unsuppressed dipolar couplings could alter the functioning of RINEPT, particularly under fast/ultrafast MAS conditions. In this study, we demonstrate, through experiments on rigid solids complemented by numerical simulations, that the polarization transfer efficiency of RINEPT is dependent on the MAS frequency. In addition, we show that heteronuclear dipolar coupling is the dominant factor in the polarization transfer, which is strengthened by the presence of (1)H-(1)H dipolar couplings. In fact, the simultaneous presence of homonuclear and heteronuclear dipolar couplings is the premise for the polarization transfer by RINEPT, whereas the scalar coupling plays an insignificant role under ultrafast MAS conditions on rigid solids. Our results additionally reveal that the polarization transfer efficiency decreases with the increasing duration of RF pulses used in the RINEPT sequence.

Abstract
We have proposed solid state NMR (SSNMR) of sedimented solutes as a novel approach to sample preparation for biomolecular SSNMR without crystallization or other sample manipulations. The biomolecules are confined by high gravity--obtained by centrifugal forces either directly in a SSNMR rotor or in a ultracentrifugal device--into a hydrated non-crystalline solid suitable for SSNMR investigations. When gravity is removed, the sample reverts to solution and can be treated as any solution NMR sample. We here describe a simple web tool to calculate the relevant parameters for the success of the experiment.

Abstract
Sensitivity and resolution are the two fundamental obstacles to extending solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance to even larger protein systems. Here, a novel long-observation-window band-selective homonuclear decoupling (LOW BASHD) scheme is introduced that increases resolution up to a factor of 3 and sensitivity up to 1.8 by decoupling backbone alpha-carbon (C(α)) and carbonyl (C') nuclei in U-(13)C-labeled proteins during direct (13)C acquisition. This approach introduces short (<200 μs) pulse breaks into much longer (~8 ms) sampling windows to efficiently refocus the J-coupling interaction during detection while avoiding the deleterious effects on sensitivity inherent in rapid stroboscopic band-selective homonuclear decoupling techniques. A significant advantage of LOW-BASHD detection is that it can be directly incorporated into existing correlation methods, as illustrated here for 2D CACO, NCO, and NCA correlation spectroscopy applied to the β1 immunoglobulin binding domain of protein G and 3D CBCACO correlation spectroscopy applied to the α-subunit of tryptophan synthase.

Abstract
Great theoretical and methodological advances are pushing the limits of resolution and sensitivity in solid state NMR (SSNMR). However, sample preparation remains a critical issue for the success of an experiment. The factors affecting spectral quality in SSNMR samples are discussed, examining cases encountered in the literature and presenting new experimental data. A discussion on resolution and sensitivity in sedimented solutes is framed in this context.

Abstract
We present here (1)H-detected triple-resonance H/N/C experiments that incorporate CO-CA and CA-CB out-and-back scalar-transfer blocks optimized for robust resonance assignment in biosolids under ultra-fast magic-angle spinning (MAS). The first experiment, (H)(CO)CA(CO)NH, yields (1)H-detected inter-residue correlations, in which we record the chemical shifts of the CA spins in the first indirect dimension while during the scalar-transfer delays the coherences are present only on the longer-lived CO spins. The second experiment, (H)(CA)CB(CA)NH, correlates the side-chain CB chemical shifts with the NH of the same residue. These high sensitivity experiments are demonstrated on both fully-protonated and 100%-H(N) back-protonated perdeuterated microcrystalline samples of Acinetobacter phage 205 (AP205) capsids at 60 kHz MAS.

Abstract
We have recently proposed sedimented solute NMR (SedNMR) as a solid-state method to access biomolecules without the need of crystallization or other sample manipulation. The drawback of SedNMR is that samples are intrinsically diluted and this is detrimental for the signal intensity. Ultracentrifugal devices can be used to increase the amount of sample inside the rotor, overcoming the intrinsic sensitivity limitation of the method. We designed two different devices and we here report the directions for using such devices and the relevant equations for determining the parameters for sedimentation.
