Microfluidics delivery of DARPP-32 into HeLa cells maintains viability for in-cell NMR spectroscopy

High-resolution structural studies of proteins and protein complexes in a native eukaryotic environment present a challenge to structural biology. In-cell NMR can characterize atomic resolution structures but requires high concentrations of labeled proteins in intact cells. Most exogenous delivery techniques are limited to specific cell types or are too destructive to preserve cellular physiology. The feasibility of microfluidics transfection or volume exchange for convective transfer, VECT, as...
