Abstract
Membrane-protein NMR occupies a unique niche for determining structures, assessing dynamics, examining folding, and studying the binding of lipids, ligands and drugs to membrane proteins. However, NMR analyses of membrane proteins also face special challenges that are not encountered with soluble proteins, including
sample preparation, size limitation, spectral crowding and sparse data accumulation. This Perspective provides a snapshot of current achievements, future opportunities and possible limitations in this rapidly developing field.
