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
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
We present a processing method, based on the multivariate curve resolution approach (MCR), to denoise 2D solid-state NMR spectra, yielding a substantial S/N ratio increase while preserving the lineshapes and relative signal intensities. These spectral features are particularly important in the quantification of silicon species, where sensitivity is limited by the low natural abundance of the 29Si nuclei and by the dilution of the intrinsic protons of silica, but can be of interest also when dealing with other intermediate-to-low receptivity nuclei. This method also offers the possibility of coprocessing multiple 2D spectra that have the signals at the same frequencies but with different intensities (e.g.: as a result of a variation in the mixing time). The processing can be carried out on the time-domain data, thus preserving the possibility of applying further processing to the data. As a demonstration, we have applied Cadzow denoising on the MCR-processed FIDs, achieving a further increase in the S/N ratio and more effective denoising also on the transients at longer indirect evolution times. We have applied the combined denoising on a set of experimental data from a lysozyme-silica composite.

Abstract
Non-uniform sampling has been successfully used for solution and solid-state NMR of homogeneous samples. In the solid state, protein samples are often dominated by inhomogeneous contributions to the homogeneous line widths. In spite of different technical strategies for peak reconstruction by different methods, we validate that NUS can generally be used also for such situations where spectra are made up of complex peak shapes rather than Lorentian lines. Using the RMSD between subsampled and reconstructed data and those spectra obtained with uniform sampling for a sample comprising a wide conformational distribution, we quantitatively evaluate the identity of inhomogeneous peak patterns. The evaluation comprises Iterative Soft Thresholding (hmsIST implementation) as a method explicitly not assuming Lorentian lineshapes, as well as Sparse Multidimensional Iterative Lineshape Enhanced (SMILE) algorithm and Signal Separation Algorithm (SSA) reconstruction, which do work on the basis of Lorentian lineshape models, with different sampling densities. Even though individual peculiarities are apparent, all methods turn out principally viable to reconstruct the heterogeneously broadened peak shapes.

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
Solid state NMR (SSNMR) has earned a substantial success in the characterization of paramagnetic systems over the last decades. Nowadays, the resolution and sensitivity of solid state NMR in biological molecules has improved significantly and these advancements can be translated into the study of paramagnetic biomolecules. However, the electronic properties of different metal centers affect the quality of their SSNMR spectra differently, and not all systems turn out to be equally easy to approach by this technique. In this review we will try to give an overview of the properties of different paramagnetic centers and how they can be used to increase the chances of experimental success.

Abstract
Oriented sample solid-state NMR (OS-ssNMR) spectroscopy is uniquely suited to determine membrane protein topology at the atomic resolution in liquid crystalline bilayers under physiological temperature. However, the inherent low sensitivity of this technique has hindered the throughput of multidimensional experiments necessary for resonance assignments and structure determination. In this work, we show that doping membrane protein bicelle preparations with paramagnetic ion chelated lipids and exploiting paramagnetic relaxation effects it is possible to accelerate the acquisition of both 2D and 3D multidimensional experiments with significant saving in time. We demonstrate the efficacy of this method for a small membrane protein, sarcolipin, reconstituted in DMPC/POPC/DHPC oriented bicelles. In particular, using Cu2+-DMPE-DTPA as a dopant, we observed a decrease of 1H T1 of sarcolipin by 2/3, allowing us to reduce the recycle delay up to 3 times. We anticipate that these new developments will enable the routine acquisition of multidimensional OS-ssNMR experiments.

Abstract
The effects arising in NMR spectroscopy because of the presence of unpaired electrons, collectively referred to as "paramagnetic NMR" have attracted increasing attention over the last decades. From the standpoint of the structural and mechanistic biology, paramagnetic NMR provides long range restraints that can be used to assess the accuracy of crystal structures in solution and to improve them by simultaneous refinements through NMR and X-ray data. These restraints also provide information on structure rearrangements and conformational variability in biomolecular systems. Theoretical improvements in quantum chemistry calculations can nowadays allow for accurate calculations of the paramagnetic data from a molecular structural model, thus providing a tool to refine the metal coordination environment by matching the paramagnetic effects observed far away from the metal. Furthermore, the availability of an improved technology (higher fields and faster magic angle spinning) has promoted paramagnetic NMR applications in the fast-growing area of biomolecular solid-state NMR. Major improvements in dynamic nuclear polarization have been recently achieved, especially through the exploitation of the Overhauser effect occurring through the contact-driven relaxation mechanism: the very large enhancement of the 13C signal observed in a variety of liquid organic compounds at high fields is expected to open up new perspectives for applications of solution NMR.

Abstract
Magic angle spinning solid state NMR studies of biological macromolecules [1-3] have enabled exciting studies of membrane proteins [4,5], amyloid fibrils [6], viruses, and large macromolecular assemblies [7]. Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) provides a means to enhance detection sensitivity for NMR, particularly for solid state NMR, with many recent biological applications and considerable contemporary efforts towards elaboration and optimization of the DNP experiment. This review explores precedents and innovations in biological DNP experiments, especially highlighting novel chemical biology approaches to introduce the radicals that serve as a source of polarization in DNP experiments.

Abstract
Obtaining unambiguous resonance assignments remains a major bottleneck in solid-state NMR studies of protein structure and dynamics. Particularly for supramolecular assemblies with large subunits (>150 residues), the analysis of crowded spectral data presents a challenge, even if three-dimensional (3D) spectra are used. Here, we present a proton-detected 4D solid-state NMR assignment procedure that is tailored for large assemblies. The key to recording 4D spectra with three indirect carbon or nitrogen dimensions with their inherently large chemical shift dispersion lies in the use of sparse non-uniform sampling (as low as 2 %). As a proof of principle, we acquired 4D (H)COCANH, (H)CACONH, and (H)CBCANH spectra of the 20 kDa bacteriophage tail-tube protein gp17.1 in a total time of two and a half weeks. These spectra were sufficient to obtain complete resonance assignments in a straightforward manner without use of previous solution NMR data.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR (SSNMR) is an attractive technique for studying large membrane proteins in membrane-mimetic environments. However, SSNMR experiments often suffer from low efficiency, due to the inherent low sensitivity and the long recycle delays needed to recover the magnetization. Here we demonstrate that the incorporation of a small amount of a Gd3+-chelated lipid, Gd3+-DMPE-DTPA, into proteoliposomes greatly shortens the spin-lattice relaxation time (1H-T 1) of lipid-reconstituted membrane proteins and accelerates the data collection. This effect has been evaluated on a 30 kDa, seven-transmembrane protein, Leptosphaeria rhodopsin. With the Gd3+-chelated lipid, we can perform 2D SSNMR experiments 3 times faster than by diamagnetic control. By combining this paramagnetic relaxation-assisted data collection with non-uniform sampling, the 3D experimental times are reduced eightfold with respect to traditional 3D experiments on diamagnetic samples. A comparison between the paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) effects of Cu2+- and Gd3+-chelated lipids indicates the much higher relaxivity of the latter. Hence, a tenfold lower concentration is needed for Gd3+-chelated lipids to achieve comparable PRE effects to Cu2+-chelated lipids. In addition, Gd3+-chelated lipids neither alter the protein structures nor induce significant line-width broadening of the protein signals. This work is expected to be beneficial for structural and dynamic studies of large membrane proteins by SSNMR.

Abstract
REDOR-based experiments with simultaneous 1H-13C and 1H-15N dipolar dephasing are explored for investigating intermolecular protein-protein interfaces in complexes formed by a U-13C,15N-labeled protein and its natural abundance binding partner. The application of a double-REDOR filter (dREDOR) results in a complete dephasing of proton magnetization in the U-13C,15N-enriched molecule while the proton magnetization of the unlabeled binding partner is not dephased. This retained proton magnetization is then transferred across the intermolecular interface by 1H-13C or 1H-15N cross polarization, permitting to establish the residues of the U-13C,15N-labeled protein, which constitute the binding interface. To assign the interface residues, this dREDOR-CPMAS element is incorporated as a building block into 13C-13C correlation experiments. We established the validity of this approach on U-13C,15N-histidine and on a structurally characterized complex of dynactin's U-13C,15N-CAP-Gly domain with end-binding protein 1 (EB1). The approach introduced here is broadly applicable to the analysis of intermolecular interfaces when one of the binding partners in a complex cannot be isotopically labeled.

Abstract
Water in carbon nanotubes is surrounded by hydrophobic carbon surfaces and shows anomalous structural and fast transport properties. However, the dynamics of water in hydrophobic nanospaces is only phenomenologically understood. In this study, water dynamics in hydrophobic carbon nanotubes is evaluated based on water relaxation using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations. Extremely fast relaxation (0.001 s) of water confined in carbon nanotubes of 1 nm in diameter on average is observed; the relaxation times of water confined in carbon nanotubes with an average diameter of 2 nm (0.40 s) is similar to that of bulk water (0.44 s). The extremely fast relaxation time of water confined in carbon nanotubes with an average diameter of 1 nm is a result of frequent energy transfer between water and carbon surfaces. Water relaxation in carbon nanotubes of average diameter 2 nm is slow because of the limited number of collisions between water molecules. The dynamics of interfacial water can therefore be controlled by varying the size of the hydrophobic nanospace.

Abstract
Experimental characterization of one-bond heteronuclear dipolar couplings is essential for structural and dynamics characterization of molecules by solid-state NMR. Accurate measurement of heteronuclear dipolar tensor parameters in magic-angle spinning NMR requires that the recoupling sequences efficiently reintroduce the desired heteronuclear dipolar coupling term, fully suppress other interactions (such as chemical shift anisotropy and homonuclear dipolar couplings), and be insensitive to experimental imperfections, such as radio frequency (rf) field mismatch. In this study, we demonstrate that the introduction of window delays into the basic elements of a phase-alternating R-symmetry (PARS) sequence results in a greatly improved protocol, termed windowed PARS (wPARS), which yields clean dipolar lineshapes that are unaffected by other spin interactions and are largely insensitive to experimental imperfections. Higher dipolar scaling factors can be attained in this technique with respect to PARS, which is particularly useful for the measurement of relatively small dipolar couplings. The advantages of wPARS are verified experimentally on model molecules N-acetyl-valine (NAV) and a tripeptide Met-Leu-Phe (MLF). The incorporation of wPARS into 3D heteronuclear or homonuclear correlation experiments permits accurate site-specific determination of dipolar tensors in proteins, as demonstrated on dynein light chain 8 (LC8). Through 3D wPARS recoupling based spectroscopy we have determined both backbone and side chain dipolar tensors in LC8 in a residue-resolved manner. We discuss these in the context of conformational dynamics of LC8. We have addressed the effect of paramagnetic relaxant Cu(ii)-EDTA doping on the dipolar coupling parameters in LC8 and observed no significant differences with respect to the neat sample permitting fast data collection. Our results indicate that wPARS is advantageous with respect to the windowless version of the sequence and is applicable to a broad range of systems including but not limited to biomolecules.

Abstract
Unique information about the atom-level structure and dynamics of solids and mesophases can be obtained by the use of multidimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments. Nevertheless, the acquisition of these experiments often requires long acquisition times. We review here alternative sampling methods, which have been proposed to circumvent this issue in the case of solids and mesophases. Compared to the spectra of solutions, those of solids and mesophases present some specificities because they usually display lower signal-to-noise ratios, non-Lorentzian line shapes, lower spectral resolutions and wider spectral widths. We highlight herein the advantages and limitations of these alternative sampling methods. A first route to accelerate the acquisition time of multidimensional NMR spectra consists in the use of sparse sampling schemes, such as truncated, radial or random sampling ones. These sparsely sampled datasets are generally processed by reconstruction methods differing from the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). A host of non-DFT methods have been applied for solids and mesophases, including the G-matrix Fourier transform, the linear least-square procedures, the covariance transform, the maximum entropy and the compressed sensing. A second class of alternative sampling consists in departing from the Jeener paradigm for multidimensional NMR experiments. These non-Jeener methods include Hadamard spectroscopy as well as spatial or orientational encoding of the evolution frequencies. The increasing number of high field NMR magnets and the development of techniques to enhance NMR sensitivity will contribute to widen the use of these alternative sampling methods for the study of solids and mesophases in the coming years.

Abstract
Standard methods for de novo protein structure determination by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) require time-consuming data collection and interpretation efforts. Here we present a qualitatively distinct and novel approach, called Comparative, Objective Measurement of Protein Architectures by Scoring Shifts (COMPASS), which identifies the best structures from a set of structural models by numerical comparison with a single, unassigned 2D (13)C-(13)C NMR spectrum containing backbone and side-chain aliphatic signals. COMPASS does not require resonance assignments. It is particularly well suited for interpretation of magic-angle spinning solid-state NMR spectra, but also applicable to solution NMR spectra. We demonstrate COMPASS with experimental data from four proteins--GB1, ubiquitin, DsbA, and the extracellular domain of human tissue factor--and with reconstructed spectra from 11 additional proteins. For all these proteins, with molecular mass up to 25 kDa, COMPASS distinguished the correct fold, most often within 1.5 Å root-mean-square deviation of the reference structure.

Abstract
Viruses, relatively simple pathogens, are able to replicate in many living organisms and to adapt to various environments. Conventional atomic-resolution structural biology techniques, X-ray crystallography and solution NMR spectroscopy provided abundant information on the structures of individual proteins and nucleic acids comprising viruses; however, viral assemblies are not amenable to analysis by these techniques because of their large size, insolubility, and inherent lack of long-range order. In this article, we review the recent advances in magic angle spinning NMR spectroscopy that enabled atomic-resolution analysis of structure and dynamics of large viral systems and give examples of several exciting case studies.

Resolution and sensitivity in solid state NMR (SSNMR) can rival the results achieved by solution NMR, and even outperform them in the case of large systems. However, several factors affect the spectral quality in SSNMR samples, and not all systems turn out to be equally amenable for this methodology. In this review we attempt at analyzing the causes of this variable behavior and at providing hints to increase the chances of experimental success.

Abstract
Fast magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy is emerging as an essential analytical and structural biology technique. Large resolution and sensitivity enhancements observed under fast MAS conditions enable structural and dynamics analysis of challenging systems, such as large macromolecular assemblies and isotopically dilute samples, using only a fraction of material required for conventional experiments. Homonuclear dipolar-based correlation spectroscopy constitutes a centerpiece in the MAS NMR methodological toolbox, and is used essentially in every biological and organic system for deriving resonance assignments and distance restraints information necessary for structural analysis. Under fast MAS conditions (rotation frequencies above 35-40 kHz), dipolar-based techniques that yield multi-bond correlations and non-trivial distance information are ineffective and suffer from low polarization transfer efficiency. To overcome this limitation, we have developed a family of experiments, CORD-RFDR. These experiments exploit the advantages of both zero-quantum RFDR and spin-diffusion based CORD methods, and exhibit highly efficient and broadband dipolar recoupling across the entire spectrum, for both short-range and long-range correlations. We have verified the performance of the CORD-RFDR sequences experimentally on a U-(13)C,(15)N-MLF tripeptide and by numerical simulations. We demonstrate applications of 2D CORD-RFDR correlation spectroscopy in dynein light chain LC8 and HIV-1 CA tubular assemblies. In the CORD-RFDR spectra of LC8 acquired at the MAS frequency of 40 kHz, many new intra- and inter-residue correlations are detected, which were not observed with conventional dipolar recoupling sequences. At a moderate MAS frequency of 14 kHz, the CORD-RFDR experiment exhibits excellent performance as well, as demonstrated in the HIV-1 CA tubular assemblies. Taken together, the results indicate that CORD-RFDR experiment is beneficial in a broad range of conditions, including both high and moderate MAS frequencies and magnetic fields.

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
We introduce an efficient approach for sequential protein backbone assignment based on two complementary proton-detected 4D solid-state NMR experiments that correlate Hi(N)/Ni with CAi/COi or CAi-1/COi-1. The resulting 4D spectra exhibit excellent sensitivity and resolution and are amenable to (semi-)automatic assignment approaches. This strategy allows to obtain sequential connections with high confidence as problems related to peak overlap and multiple assignment possibilities are avoided. Non-uniform sampling schemes were implemented to allow for the acquisition of 4D spectra within a few days. Rather moderate hardware requirements enable the successful demonstration of the method on deuterated type III secretion needles using a 600 MHz spectrometer at a spinning rate of 25 kHz.

Abstract
We report acquisition of diagonal-compensated protein structural restraints from four-dimensional solid-state NMR spectra on extensively deuterated and (1)H back-exchanged proteins. To achieve this, we use homonuclear (1)H-(1)H correlations with diagonal suppression and nonuniform sampling (NUS). Suppression of the diagonal allows the accurate identification of cross-peaks which are otherwise obscured by the strong autocorrelation or whose intensity is biased due to partial overlap with the diagonal. The approach results in unambiguous spectral interpretation and relatively few but reliable restraints for structure calculation. In addition, the diagonal suppression produces a spectrum with low dynamic range for which ultrasparse NUS data sets can be readily reconstructed, allowing straightforward application of NUS with only 2% sampling density with the advantage of more heavily sampling time-domain regions of high signal intensity. The method is demonstrated here for two proteins, α-spectrin SH3 microcrystals and hydrophobin functional amyloids. For the case of SH3, suppression of the diagonal results in facilitated identification of unambiguous restraints and improvement of the quality of the calculated structural ensemble compared to nondiagonal-suppressed 4D spectra. For the only partly assigned hydrophobin rodlets, the structure is yet unknown. Applied to this protein of biological significance with large inhomogeneous broadening, the method allows identification of unambiguous crosspeaks that are otherwise obscured by the diagonal.

Abstract
Recently, we have demonstrated that considerable inherent sensitivity gains are attained in MAS NMR spectra acquired by nonuniform sampling (NUS) and introduced maximum entropy interpolation (MINT) processing that assures the linearity of transformation between the time and frequency domains. In this report, we examine the utility of the NUS/MINT approach in multidimensional datasets possessing high dynamic range, such as homonuclear (13)C-(13)C correlation spectra. We demonstrate on model compounds and on 1-73-(U-(13)C,(15)N)/74-108-(U-(15)N) E. coli thioredoxin reassembly, that with appropriately constructed 50% NUS schedules inherent sensitivity gains of 1.7-2.1-fold are readily reached in such datasets. We show that both linearity and line width are retained under these experimental conditions throughout the entire dynamic range of the signals. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the reproducibility of the peak intensities is excellent in the NUS/MINT approach when experiments are repeated multiple times and identical experimental and processing conditions are employed. Finally, we discuss the principles for design and implementation of random exponentially biased NUS sampling schedules for homonuclear (13)C-(13)C MAS correlation experiments that yield high-quality artifact-free datasets.

Abstract
Time-resolved experiments demand high resolution both in spectral dimensions and in time of the studied kinetic process. The latter requirement traditionally prohibits applications of the multidimensional experiments, which, although capable of providing invaluable information about structure and dynamics and almost unlimited spectral resolution, require too lengthy data collection. Our work shows that the problem has a solution in using modern methods of NMR data collection and signal processing. A continuous fast pulsing three-dimensional experiment is acquired using non-uniform sampling during full time of the studied reaction. High sensitivity and time-resolution of a few minutes is achieved by simultaneous processing of the full data set with the multi-dimensional decomposition. The method is verified and illustrated in realistic simulations and by measuring deuterium exchange rates of amide protons in ubiquitin. We applied the method for characterizing kinetics of in vitro phosphorylation of two tyrosine residues in an intrinsically disordered cytosolic domain of the B cell receptor protein CD79b. Signals of many residues including tyrosines in both phosphorylated and unmodified forms of CD79b are found in a heavily crowded region of 2D ¹H-¹⁵N correlation spectrum and the significantly enhanced spectral resolution provided by the 3D time-resolved approach was essential for the quantitative site-specific analysis.

Abstract
A considerable limitation of NMR spectroscopy is its inherent low sensitivity. Approximately 90 % of the measuring time is used by the spin system to return to its Boltzmann equilibrium after excitation, which is determined by (1)H-T1 in cross-polarized solid-state NMR experiments. It has been shown that sample doping by paramagnetic relaxation agents such as Cu(2+)-EDTA accelerates this process considerably resulting in enhanced sensitivity. Here, we extend this concept to Gd(3+)-complexes. Their effect on (1)H-T1 has been assessed on the membrane protein proteorhodopsin, a 7TM light-driven proton pump. A comparison between Gd(3+)-DOTA, Gd(3+)-TTAHA, covalently attached Cu(2+)-EDTA-tags and Cu(2+)-EDTA reveals a 3.2-, 2.6-, 2.4- and 2-fold improved signal-to-noise ratio per unit time due to longitudinal paramagnetic relaxation enhancement. Furthermore, Gd(3+)-DOTA shows a remarkably high relaxivity, which is 77-times higher than that of Cu(2+)-EDTA. Therefore, an order of magnitude lower dopant concentration can be used. In addition, no line-broadening effects or peak shifts have been observed on proteorhodopsin in the presence of Gd(3+)-DOTA. These favourable properties make it very useful for solid-state NMR experiments on membrane proteins.

Abstract
We describe the incorporation of non-uniform sampling (NUS) compressed sensing (CS) into oriented sample (OS) solid-state NMR for stationary aligned samples and magic angle spinning (MAS) Solid-state NMR for unoriented 'powder' samples. Both simulated and experimental results indicate that 25-33% of a full linearly sampled data set is required to reconstruct two- and three-dimensional solid-state NMR spectra with high fidelity. A modest increase in signal-to-noise ratio accompanies the reconstruction.

Abstract
In living organisms, biological molecules often organize into multicomponent complexes. Such assemblies consist of various proteins and carry out essential functions, ranging from cell division, transport, and energy transduction to catalysis, signaling, and viral infectivity. To understand the biological functions of these assemblies, in both healthy and disease states, researchers need to study their three-dimensional architecture and molecular dynamics. To date, the large size, the lack of inherent long-range order, and insolubility have made atomic resolution studies of many protein assemblies challenging or impractical using traditional structural biology methods such as X-ray diffraction and solution NMR spectroscopy. In the past 10 years, we have focused our work on the development and application of magic angle spinning solid-state NMR (MAS NMR) methods to characterize large protein assemblies at atomic-level resolution. In this Account, we discuss the rapid progress in the field of MAS NMR spectroscopy, citing work from our laboratory and others on methodological developments that have facilitated the in-depth analysis of biologically important protein assemblies. We emphasize techniques that yield enhanced sensitivity and resolution, such as fast MAS (spinning frequencies of 40 kHz and above) and nonuniform sampling protocols for data acquisition and processing. We also discuss the experiments for gaining distance restraints and for recoupling anisotropic tensorial interactions under fast MAS conditions. We give an overview of sample preparation approaches when working with protein assemblies. Following the overview of contemporary MAS NMR methods, we present case studies into the structure and dynamics of two classes of biological systems under investigation in our laboratory. We will first turn our attention to cytoskeletal microtubule motor proteins including mammalian dynactin and dynein light chain 8. We will then discuss protein assemblies from the HIV-1 retrovirus.
