Résumé

Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is a powerful technique for the investigation of membrane-associated peptides and proteins as well as their interactions with lipids, and a variety of conceptually different approaches have been developed for their study. The technique is unique in allowing for the high-resolution investigation of liquid disordered lipid bilayers representing well the characteristics of natural membranes. Whereas magic angle solid-state NMR spectroscopy follows approaches that are related to those developed for solution NMR spectroscopy the use of static uniaxially oriented samples results in angular constraints which also provide information for the detailed analysis of polypeptide structures. This review introduces this latter concept theoretically and provides a number of examples. Furthermore, ongoing developments combining solid-state NMR spectroscopy with information from solution NMR spectroscopy and molecular modelling as well as exploratory studies using dynamic nuclear polarization solid-state NMR will be presented.
