Abstract

In-cell NMR: three-dimensional protein structures Previously, the relatively low sensitivity of spectroscopy and short lifetime of the samples have made it difficult to acquire sufficient structural information to determine protein structures using in-cell NMR spectroscopy. It can take one or two days to collect NMR data, too long for living cells. Sakakibara et al. overcome this limitation by collecting enough data in a few hours; they report the first three-dimensional protein structure determined exclusively on the basis of information obtained in living Escherichia coli. The model protein used in this 'proof of principle' study is the putative heavy metal-binding protein TTHA1718 from Thermus thermophilus.
