Abstract
Solid-state NMR spectroscopy has been playing a significant role in elucidating the structures and dynamics of materials and proteins at the atomic level for decades. As an extremely abundant nucleus with a very high gyromagnetic ratio, protons are widely present in most organic/inorganic materials. Thus, this Perspective highlights the advantages of proton detection at fast magic-angle spinning (MAS) and presents strategies to utilize and exhaust 1H polarization to achieve signal sensitivity enhancement of solid-state NMR spectroscopy, enabling substantial time savings and extraction of more structural and dynamics information per unit time. Those strategies include developing sensitivity-enhanced single-channel 1H multidimensional NMR spectroscopy, implementing multiple polarization transfer steps in each scan to enhance low-γ nuclei signals, and making full use of 1H polarization to obtain homonuclear and heteronuclear chemical shift correlation spectra in a single experiment. Finally, outlooks and perspectives are provided regarding the challenges and future for the further development of sensitivity-enhanced proton-based solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is one of the most commonly used techniques to study the atomic-resolution structure and dynamics of various chemical, biological, material, and pharmaceutical systems spanning multiple forms, including crystalline, liquid crystalline, fibrous, and amorphous states. Despite the unique advantages of solid-state NMR spectroscopy, its poor spectral resolution and sensitivity have severely limited the scope of this technique. Fortunately, the recent developments in probe technology that mechanically rotate the sample fast (100 kHz and above) to obtain "solution-like" NMR spectra of solids with higher resolution and sensitivity have opened numerous avenues for the development of novel NMR techniques and their applications to study a plethora of solids including globular and membrane-associated proteins, self-assembled protein aggregates such as amyloid fibers, RNA, viral assemblies, polymorphic pharmaceuticals, metal-organic framework, bone materials, and inorganic materials. While the ultrafast-MAS continues to be developed, the minute sample quantity and radio frequency requirements, shorter recycle delays enabling fast data acquisition, the feasibility of employing proton detection, enhancement in proton spectral resolution and polarization transfer efficiency, and high sensitivity per unit sample are some of the remarkable benefits of the ultrafast-MAS technology as demonstrated by the reported studies in the literature. Although the very low sample volume and very high RF power could be limitations for some of the systems, the advantages have spurred solid-state NMR investigation into increasingly complex biological and material systems. As ultrafast-MAS NMR techniques are increasingly used in multidisciplinary research areas, further development of instrumentation, probes, and advanced methods are pursued in parallel to overcome the limitations and challenges for widespread applications. This review article is focused on providing timely comprehensive coverage of the major developments on instrumentation, theory, techniques, applications, limitations, and future scope of ultrafast-MAS technology.

Abstract
Since the first pioneering studies on small deuterated peptides dating more than 20 years ago, 1H detection has evolved into the most efficient approach for investigation of biomolecular structure, dynamics, and interactions by solid-state NMR. The development of faster and faster magic-angle spinning (MAS) rates (up to 150 kHz today) at ultrahigh magnetic fields has triggered a real revolution in the field. This new spinning regime reduces the 1H-1H dipolar couplings, so that a direct detection of 1H signals, for long impossible without proton dilution, has become possible at high resolution. The switch from the traditional MAS NMR approaches with 13C and 15N detection to 1H boosts the signal by more than an order of magnitude, accelerating the site-specific analysis and opening the way to more complex immobilized biological systems of higher molecular weight and available in limited amounts. This paper reviews the concepts underlying this recent leap forward in sensitivity and resolution, presents a detailed description of the experimental aspects of acquisition of multidimensional correlation spectra with fast MAS, and summarizes the most successful strategies for the assignment of the resonances and for the elucidation of protein structure and conformational dynamics. It finally outlines the many examples where 1H-detected MAS NMR has contributed to the detailed characterization of a variety of crystalline and noncrystalline biomolecular targets involved in biological processes ranging from catalysis through drug binding, viral infectivity, amyloid fibril formation, to transport across lipid membranes.

Abstract
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) often suffers from significant limitations due to the inherent low signal sensitivity when low-γ nuclei are involved. Herein, we report an elegant solid-state NMR approach for rapid structural analysis of minute amounts of organic solids. By encoding staggered chemical shift evolution in the indirect dimension and staggered acquisition in the 1H dimension, a proton-detected homonuclear 1H/1H and heteronuclear 13C/1H chemical shift correlation (HETCOR) spectrum can be obtained simultaneously in a single experiment at a fast magic-angle-spinning (MAS) condition with barely increasing the experimental time. We further show that during the conventional 1H-detected HETCOR experimental time, multiple homonuclear 1H/1H correlation spectra can be recorded in addition to the HETCOR spectrum, enabling the determination of 1H-1H distances. We establish that abundant 1H polarization can be efficiently manipulated and fully utilized in proton-detected solid-state NMR spectroscopy for extraction of more critical structural information and thus reduction of the total experimental time.

Abstract
Extracellular matrixes (ECMs), such as the cell walls and biofilms, are important for supporting cell integrity and function and regulating intercellular communication. These biomaterials are also of significant interest to the production of biofuels and the development of antimicrobial treatment. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) and magic-angle spinning-dynamic nuclear polarization (MAS-DNP) are uniquely powerful for understanding the conformational structure, dynamical characteristics, and supramolecular assemblies of carbohydrates and other biomolecules in ECMs. This review highlights the recent high-resolution investigations of intact ECMs and native cells in many organisms spanning across plants, bacteria, fungi, and algae. We spotlight the structural principles identified in ECMs, discuss the current technical limitation and underexplored biochemical topics, and point out the promising opportunities enabled by the recent advances of the rapidly evolving ssNMR technology.

Abstract
This study introduces a conceptually new solvent suppression scheme with adiabatic inversion pulses for 1H-detected multidimensional solid-state NMR (SSNMR) of biomolecules and other systems, which is termed "Solvent suppression of Liquid signal with Adiabatic Pulse" (SLAP). 1H-detected 2D 13C/1H SSNMR data of uniformly 13C- and 15N-labeled GB1 sample using ultra-fast magic angle spinning at a spinning rate of 60 kHz demonstrated that the SLAP scheme showed up to 3.5-fold better solvent suppression performance over a traditional solvent-suppression scheme for SSNMR, MISSISSIPPI (Zhou and Rienstra, J Magn Reson 192:167-172, 2008) with 2/3 of the average RF power.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is a powerful technique to study insoluble and non-crystalline proteins and protein complexes at atomic resolution. The development of proton (1H) detection at fast magic-angle spinning (MAS) has considerably increased the analytical capabilities of the technique, enabling the acquisition of 1H-detected fingerprint experiments in few hours. Here an approach based on double-quantum (DQ) 13C spectroscopy, detected on 1H, is proposed for fast MAS regime (> 60 kHz) to perform the sequential assignment of insoluble proteins of small size, without any specific deuteration requirement. By combining two three-dimensional 1H detected experiments correlating a 13C DQ dimension respectively to its intra-residue and sequential 15 N-1H pairs, a sequential walk through DQ (Ca + CO) resonance is obtained. The approach takes advantage of fast MAS to achieve an efficient sensitivity and the addition of a DQ dimension provides spectral features useful for the resonance assignment process.

Abstract
Oxygen-17 and deuterium are two quadrupolar nuclei that are of interest for studying the structure and dynamics of materials by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Here, 17 O and 2 H NMR analyses of crystalline ibuprofen and terephthalic acid are reported. First, improved 17 O-labelling protocols of these molecules are described using mechanochemistry. Then, dynamics occurring around the carboxylic groups of ibuprofen are studied considering variable temperature 17 O and 2 H NMR data, as well as computational modelling (including molecular dynamics simulations). More specifically, motions related to the concerted double proton jump and the 180° flip of the H-bonded (-COOH)2 unit in the crystal structure were looked into, and it was found that the merging of the C=O and C-OH 17 O resonances at high temperatures cannot be explained by the sole presence of one of these motions. Lastly, preliminary experiments were performed with a 2 H-17 O diplexer connected to the probe. Such configurations can allow, among others, 2 H and 17 O NMR spectra to be recorded at different temperatures without needing to tune or to change probe configurations. Overall, this work offers a few leads which could be of use in future studies of other materials using 17 O and 2 H NMR.

Abstract
Amyloid-β (Aβ) fibrils in neuritic plaques are a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Since the 42-residue Aβ (Aβ42) fibril is the most pathogenic among different Aβ species, its structural characterization is crucial to our understanding of AD. While several polymorphs have been reported for Aβ40, previous studies of Aβ42 fibrils prepared at neutral pH detected essentially only one structure, with an S-shaped β-sheet arrangement (e.g., Xiao et al. Nat. Struct. Mol. Biol. 2015, 22, 499). Herein, we demonstrate the feasibility of characterizing the structure of trace amounts of brain-derived and synthetic amyloid fibrils by sensitivity-enhanced 1H-detected solid-state NMR (SSNMR) under ultrafast magic angle spinning. By taking advantage of the high sensitivity of this technique, we first demonstrate its applicability for the high-throughput screening of trace amounts of selectively 13C- and 15N-labeled Aβ42 fibril prepared with ∼0.01% patient-derived amyloid (ca. 4 pmol) as a seed. The comparison of 2D 13C/1H SSNMR data revealed marked structural differences between AD-derived Aβ42 (∼40 nmol or ∼200 μg) and synthetic fibrils in less than 10 min, confirming the feasibility of assessing the fibril structure from ∼1 pmol of brain amyloid seed in ∼2.5 h. We also present the first structural characterization of synthetic fully protonated Aβ42 fibril by 1H-detected 3D and 4D SSNMR. With procedures assisted by automated assignments, main-chain resonance assignments were completed for trace amounts (∼42 nmol) of a fully protonated amyloid fibril in the 1H-detection approach. The results suggest that this Aβ42 fibril exhibits a novel fold or polymorph structure.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR spectroscopy has played a significant role in elucidating the structure and dynamics of materials and biological solids at a molecular level for decades. In particular, the 1H double-quantum/single-quantum (DQ/SQ) chemical shift correlation experiment is widely used for probing the proximity of protons, rendering it a powerful tool for elucidating the hydrogen-bonding interactions and molecular packing of various complex molecular systems. Two factors, namely, the DQ filtering efficiency and t1-noise, dictate the quality of the 2D 1H DQ/SQ spectra. Experimentally different recoupling sequences show varied DQ filtering efficiencies and t1-noise. Herein, after a systematic search of symmetry-based DQ recoupling sequences, we report that the symmetry-based γ-encoded RNnν sequences show superior performance to other DQ recoupling sequences, which not only have a higher DQ recoupling efficiency but can also significantly reduce t1-noise. The origin of t1-noise is further discussed in detail via extensive numerical simulations. We envisage that such γ-encoded RNnν sequences are superior candidates for DQ recoupling in proton-based solid-state NMR spectroscopy due to its capability of efficiently exciting DQ coherences and suppressing t1-noise.

JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE (SAN DIEGO, CALIF. : 1997) 2021; 328:107004.

Abstract
Proton-detected solid-state NMR at fast Magic Angle Spinning (MAS) is becoming the norm to characterize molecules. Routinely 1H-1H and 1H-X dipolar couplings are used to characterize the structure and dynamics of molecules. Selective proton recoupling techniques are emerging as a method for structural characterization via estimation of qualitative and quantitative distances. In the present study, we demonstrate through numerical simulations and experiments that the well-characterized CNvn sequences can also be tailored for selective recoupling of proton spins by employing C elements of the type (β)Φ(4β)Φ+π(3β)Φ. Herein, several CNvn sequences were examined through numerical simulations and experiments. C614 recoupling sequence with a modified POST-element ((β)Φ(4β)Φ+π(3β)Φ) shows selective polarization transfer efficiencies on the order of 40-50% between various proton spin pairs in fully protonated samples at rf amplitudes ranging from 0.3 to 0.8 times the MAS frequency. These selective recoupling sequences have been labeled as frequency-selective-CNvn sequences. The extent of selectivity, polarization transfer efficiency and the feasibility of experimentally measuring proton-proton distances in fully protonated samples are explored here. The development of efficient and robust selective 1H-1H recoupling experiments is required to structurally characterize molecules without artificial isotope enrichment or the need for diffracting crystals.

Combining fast magic angle spinning dynamic nuclear polarization with indirect detection to further enhance the sensitivity of solid-state NMR spectroscopy. SOLID STATE NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE 2020; 109:101685. [PMID: 32932182 DOI: 10.1016/j.ssnmr.2020.101685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2020] [Revised: 07/24/2020] [Accepted: 07/28/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) and indirect detection are two commonly applied approaches for enhancing the sensitivity of solid-state NMR spectroscopy. However, their use in tandem has not yet been investigated. With the advent of low-temperature fast magic angle spinning (MAS) probes with 1.3-mm diameter rotors capable of MAS at 40 kHz it becomes feasible to combine these two techniques. In this study, we performed DNP-enhanced 2D indirectly detected heteronuclear correlation (idHETCOR) experiments on 13C, 15N, 113Cd and 89Y nuclei in functionalized mesoporous silica, CdS nanoparticles, and Y2O3 nanoparticles. The sensitivity of the 2D idHETCOR experiments was compared with those of DNP-enhanced directly-detected 1D cross polarization (CP) and 2D HETCOR experiments performed with a standard 3.2-mm rotor. Due to low CP polarization transfer efficiencies and large proton linewidth, the sensitivity gains achieved by indirect detection alone were lower than in conventional (non-DNP) experiments. Nevertheless, despite the smaller sample volume the 2D idHETCOR experiments showed better absolute sensitivities than 2D HETCOR experiments for nuclei with the lowest gyromagnetic ratios. For 89Y, 2D idHETCOR provided 8.2 times better sensitivity than the 1 D89Y-detected CP experiment performed with a 3.2-mm rotor.

Abstract
The advent of ultrahigh magnetic field and fast magic-angle-spinning (MAS) probe technology has led to dramatically enhanced spectral resolution and sensitivity in solid-state NMR spectroscopy. In particular, proton-based multidimensional solid-state NMR techniques have become feasible to investigate the structure and dynamics at atomic resolution, due to the increased chemical shift span and spectral resolution. Herein, the benefits of faster MAS and higher magnetic field are demonstrated on a self-assembled diphenylalanine (Phe-Phe) nanomaterial. Proton-detected 2D 1H/1H single-quantum/single-quantum (SQ/SQ) correlation, double-quantum/single-quantum (DQ/SQ) correlation, and 1H chemical shift anisotropy/chemical shift (CSA/CS) correlation spectra obtained at two different spinning speeds (60 and 100 kHz) and two different magnetic fields (600 and 900 MHz) are reported. The dramatic enhancement of proton spectral resolution achieved with the use of a 900 MHz magnetic field and 100 kHz MAS is remarkable and enabled the measurement of proton CSA tensors, which will be useful to better understand the self-assembled structures of Phe-Phe nanotubes. We also show through numerical simulations that the unaveraged proton-proton dipolar couplings can result in broadening of CSA lines, leading to inaccurate determination of CSA tensors of protons. Thus, our results clearly show the insufficiency of a 600 MHz magnetic field to resolve 1H spectra lines and the inability of a moderate spinning speed of 60 kHz to completely suppress 1H-1H dipolar couplings, which further justify the pursuit of ultrahigh magnetic field beyond 1 GHz and ultrafast MAS beyond 100 kHz.

Abstract
The paramagnetic properties of metal ions and stable radicals can affect NMR spectra, which can lead to changes in peak intensities, relaxation times and chemical shifts. The changes from paramagnetic effects provide intriguing opportunities for solid-state NMR studies of proteins. In this review, we summarized the trends and progress of paramagnetic solid-state NMR of proteins in the past decade, and showed that paramagnetic effects have great potential applications for sensitivity enhancement, structure determination and topological analysis for microcrystalline proteins, protein complexes, protein aggregates and membrane proteins.

Abstract
NMR spectroscopy is a powerful experimental technique to study biological systems at the atomic resolution. However, its intrinsic low sensitivity results in long acquisition times that in extreme cases lasts for days (or even weeks) often exceeding the lifetime of the sample under investigation. Different paramagnetic agents have been used in an effort to decrease the spin-lattice (T1) relaxation times of the studied nuclei, which are the main cause for long acquisition times necessary for signal averaging to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of NMR spectra. Consequently, most of the experimental time is "wasted" in waiting for the magnetization to recover between successive scans. In this review, we discuss how to set up an optimal paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) system to effectively reduce the T1 relaxation times avoiding significant broadening of NMR signals. Additionally, we describe how PRE-agents can be used to provide structural and dynamic information and can even be used to follow the intermediates of chemical reactions and to speed-up data acquisition. We also describe the unique challenges and benefits associated with the application of PRE to solid-state NMR spectroscopy, explaining how the use of PREs is more complex for membrane mimetic systems as PREs can also be exploited to change the alignment of oriented membrane systems. Functionalization of membrane mimetics, such as bicelles, can provide a controlled region of paramagnetic effect that has the potential, together with the desired alignment, to provide crucial biologically relevant structural information. And finally, we discuss how paramagnetic metals can be utilized to further increase the dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) effects and how to preserve the enhancements when dissolution DNP is implemented.

Abstract
Contact lenses are worn by over 140 million people each year and tremendous research and development efforts contribute to the identification and selection of hydrogel components and production protocols to yield lenses optimized for chemical and physiological properties, eye health and comfort. The final molecular composition and extent of incorporation of different components in contact lenses is routinely estimated after lens production through the analysis of the soluble components that were not included in the lens, i.e. remaining starting materials. Examination of composition in the actual intact materials is always valued and can reveal details that are missed by only examining the non-incorporated components, for example identifying chemical changes to components in lenses during the production process. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for the direct compositional analysis of insoluble and heterogeneous materials and is also uniquely suited to determining parameters of architecture in contact lenses. We utilized 13C cross-polarization magic angle spinning (CPMAS) NMR to examine and compare the carbon composition of soft contact lenses. 13C NMR spectra of individual polymer components enabled the determination of the approximate molecular carbon contributions of major lens components. Comparisons of the conventional etafilcon A hydrogel (1 Day Acuvue MOIST) lenses and silicone hydrogel lenses (Acuvue Oasys, Dailies Total 1, Clariti 1 Day, Biofinity, and Pure Vision) revealed major spectral differences, with considerable variation even among different silicone hydrogel lenses. The solid-state NMR approach provides a direct spectral reporting of carbon types in the hydrogel lens itself. This approach represents a valuable complementary analysis to benefit contact lens research and development and could be extended to isotopically labeled hydrogel lenses to map proximities and architecture between hydrogel components.

Abstract
Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in solid state has gained significant attention in recent years due to the remarkable resolution and sensitivity enhancement afforded by ultrafast magic-angle-spinning (MAS). In spite of the substantial suppression of 1H-1H dipolar couplings, the proton spectral resolution is still poor compared to that of 13C or 15N NMR, rendering it challenging for the structural and conformational analysis of complex chemicals or biological solids. Herein, by utilizing the benefits of double-quantum (DQ) and triple-quantum (TQ) coherences, we propose a 3D single-channel pulse sequence that correlates proton triple-quantum/double-quantum/single-quantum (TQ/DQ/SQ) chemical shifts. In addition to the two-spin proximity information, this 3D TQ/DQ/SQ pulse sequence enables more reliable extraction of three-spin proximity information compared to the regular 2D TQ/SQ correlation experiment, which could aid in revealing the proton network in solids. Furthermore, the TQ/DQ slice taken at a specific SQ chemical shift only reveals the local correlations to the corresponding SQ chemical shift, and thus it enables accurate assignments of the proton peaks along the TQ and DQ dimensions and simplifies the interpretation of proton spectra especially for dense proton networks. The high performance of this 3D pulse sequence is well demonstrated on small compounds, L-alanine and a tripeptide, N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (MLF). We expect that this new methodology can inspire the development of multidimensional solid-state NMR pulse sequences using the merits of TQ and DQ coherences and enable high-throughput investigations of complex solids using abundant protons.

Abstract
Solid-state (SS) NMR spectroscopy is a powerful technique for studying challenging biological systems, but it often suffers from low sensitivity. A longitudinal relaxation optimization scheme to enhance the signal sensitivity of HSQC experiments in SSNMR spectroscopy is reported. Under the proposed scheme, the 1 H spins of 1 H-X (15 N or 13 C) are selected for signal acquisition, whereas other vast 1 H spins are flipped back to the axis of the static magnetic field to accelerate the spin recovery of the observed 1 H spins, resulting in enhanced sensitivity. Three biological systems are used to evaluate this strategy, including a seven-transmembrane protein, an RNA, and a whole-cell sample. For all three samples, the proposed scheme largely shortens the effective 1 H longitudinal relaxation time and results in a 1.3-2.5-fold gain in sensitivity. The selected systems are representative of challenging biological systems for observation by means of SSNMR spectroscopy; thus indicating the general applicability of this method, which is particularly important for biological samples with a short lifetime or with limited sample quantities.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR (ssNMR) is an ideal tool to study structure and dynamics of membrane proteins in their native lipid environment. In principle, ssNMR has no size limitations. However, this feature is rarely exploited as large membrane proteins display severe resonance overlap. In addition, dismal yields from recombinant bacterial expression systems limit severely spectroscopic characterization of membrane proteins. For very large mammalian membrane proteins, extraction from the original organism remains the most viable approach. In this case, NMR-observable nuclei must be introduced post-translationally, but the approaches developed so far are rather scarce. Here, we detail the synthesis and engineering of a reactive 13C-ethylmethanethiosulfonate (13C-EMTS) reagent for the post-translational alkylation of cysteine sidechains of a 110kDa sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) extracted from rabbit skeletal muscle tissue. When reconstituted into liposomes, it is possible to resolve the resonances of the engineered ethyl groups by magic-angle spinning (MAS) 2D [13C,13C]-DARR experiments. Notably, the ethyl-group modification does not perturb the function of SERCA, yielding well-resolved 13C-13C fingerprints that are used to image its structural states in the catalytic cycle and filtering out overwhelming naturally-abundant 13C nuclei signals arising from the enzyme and lipids. We anticipate that this approach will be used together with 19F NMR to monitor conformational transitions of enzymes and proteins that are difficult to express recombinantly.

Abstract
The chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) interaction of a nucleus is an important indicator of the local electronic environment particularly for the contributions arising from hydrogen (H)-bonding, electrostatic and π-π interactions. CSAs of protons bonded to nitrogen atoms are of significant interest due to their common role as H-bonding partners in many chemical, pharmaceutical and biological systems. Although very fast (∼100 kHz) magic angle sample spinning (MAS) experiments have enabled the measurement of proton CSAs directly from solids, due to a narrow chemical shift (CS) distribution, overlapping NH proton resonances are common and necessitate the introduction of an additional frequency dimension to the regular 2D 1H CSA/1H CS correlation method to achieve sufficient resolution. While this can be accomplished by using the isotropic shift frequency of 14N or 15N nuclei, the use of the naturally-abundant 14N nucleus avoids 15N isotopic labeling and therefore would be useful for a variety of solids. To this end, we propose a proton-detected 3D 1H CSA/14N/1H CS correlation method under fast MAS (90 kHz) to determine the CSA tensors of NH protons in samples without isotopic enrichment. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed 3D NMR experiment is capable of resolving the overlapping 1H resonances of amide (NH) groups through the 14N isotropic shift frequency dimension and enables the accurate measurement of site-specific 1H CSAs directly from powder samples under fast MAS conditions. In addition to the 3D 1H CSA/14N/1H CS experiment, an approach employing 14N-edited 2D 1H CSA/1H CS experiment is also demonstrated as an additional means to address spectral overlap of NH resonances with aliphatic and other proton resonances in solids.

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
We report a new solid-state multidimensional NMR approach based on the cross-polarization with variable-contact pulse sequence [ Paluch , P. ; Pawlak , T. ; Amoureux , J.-P. ; Potrzebowski , M. J. J. Magn. Reson. 233 , 2013 , 56 ], with 1H inverse detection and very fast magic angle spinning (νR = 60 kHz), dedicated to the measurement of local molecular motions of 1H-15N vectors. The introduced three-dimensional experiments, 1H-15N-1H and hCA(N)H, are particularly useful for the study of molecular dynamics of proteins and other complex structures. The applicability and power of this methodology have been revealed by employing as a model sample the GB-1 small protein doped with Na2CuEDTA. The results clearly prove that the dispersion of 1H-15N dipolar coupling constants well correlates with higher order structure of the protein. Our approach complements the conventional studies and offers a fast and reasonably simple method.

Abstract
Fast magic-angle spinning, coupled with 1H detection is a powerful method to improve spectral resolution and signal to noise in solid-state NMR spectra. Commercial probes now provide spinning frequencies in excess of 100 kHz. Then, one has sufficient resolution in the 1H dimension to directly detect protons, which have a gyromagnetic ratio approximately four times larger than 13C spins. However, the gains in sensitivity can quickly be lost if the rotation angle is not set precisely. The most common method of magic-angle calibration is to optimize the number of rotary echoes, or sideband intensity, observed on a sample of KBr. However, this typically uses relatively low spinning frequencies, where the spinning of fast-MAS probes is often unstable, and detection on the 13C channel, for which fast-MAS probes are typically not optimized. Therefore, we compare the KBr-based optimization of the magic angle with two alternative approaches: optimization of the splitting observed in 13C-labeled glycine-ethylester on the carbonyl due to the Cα-C' J-coupling, or optimization of the H-N J-coupling spin echo in the protein sample itself. The latter method has the particular advantage that no separate sample is necessary for the magic-angle optimization.

Abstract
Viral membrane proteins are prime targets in combatting infection. Still, the determination of their structure remains a challenge, both with respect to sample preparation and the need for structural methods allowing for analysis in a native-like lipid environment. Cell-free protein synthesis and solid-state NMR spectroscopy are promising approaches in this context, the former with respect to its great potential in the native expression of complex proteins, and the latter for the analysis of membrane proteins in lipids. Herein, we show that milligram amounts of the small envelope protein of the duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) can be produced by cell-free expression, and that the protein self-assembles into subviral particles. Proton-detected 2D NMR spectra recorded at a magic-angle-spinning frequency of 110 kHz on <500 μg protein show a number of isolated peaks with line widths comparable to those of model membrane proteins, paving the way for structural studies of this protein that is homologous to a potential drug target in HBV infection.
