Nanotube Array Method for Studying Lipid-Induced Conformational Changes of a Membrane Protein by Solid-State NMR. Biophys J. 2015 Jan 6;108(1):5-9 Authors: Marek A, Tang W, Milikisiyants S, Nevzorov AA, Smirnov AI Abstract Anodic aluminum oxide substrates with macroscopically aligned homogeneous nanopores of 80*nm in diameter enable two-dimensional, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance studies of lipid-induced conformational changes of uniformly (15)N-labeled Pf1 coat protein in native-like bilayers. The Pf1 helix tilt angles in bilayers composed of two different lipids are not*entirely governed by the membrane thickness but could be rationalized by hydrophobic interactions of lysines at the bilayer interface. The anodic aluminum oxide alignment method is applicable to a broader repertoire of lipids versus bicelle bilayer mimetics currently employed in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance of oriented samples, thus allowing for elucidation of the role played by lipids in shaping membrane proteins.
