Abstract: | Biological membranes are characterized by a high degree of dynamics. In order to understand the function of membrane proteins and even more of membrane-associated peptides, these motional aspects have to be taken into consideration. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is a method of choice when characterizing topological equilibria, molecular motions, lateral and rotational diffusion as well as dynamic oligomerization equilibria within fluid phase lipid bilayers. Here we show and review examples where the 15N chemical shift anisotropy, dipolar interactions and the deuterium quadrupolar splittings have been used to analyze motions of peptides such as peptaibols, antimicrobial sequences, Vpu, phospholamban or other channel domains. In particular, simulations of 15N and 2H-solid-state NMR spectra are shown of helical domains in uniaxially oriented membranes when rotation around the membrane normal or the helix long axis occurs. |
