When considering the biological significance and industrial and
medical applications of biopolymers, it is crucial to know details
of their secondary structure, dynamics and assembly. The
biopolymers include globular, membrane and fibrous proteins,
polypeptides, nucleic acids, polysaccharides and lipids. Solid
state NMR spectroscopy has proved to be the most suitable and
unrivaled means for investigations of biopolymers. The major
advantage of solid state NMR spectroscopy is that the resulting
line widths can be manipulated experimentally and are not
influenced by motional fluctuation of proteins under consideration
as a whole.
Solid State NMR Spectroscopy for Biopolymers: Principles and
Applications provides a comprehensive account on how the
conformation and dynamics of such biopolymers can be revealed by
solid state NMR spectroscopy. Special efforts have been made
towards the historical and chronological consequences of a variety
of applications and the dynamic aspects of the biopolymer system.
In particular, the authors emphasise how important it is to record
the most simple DD-MAS (one pulse excitation with high power
decoupling) as a mean of locating very flexible portions of
membrane proteins and membrane associated peptides. The authors
also demonstrate that dynamic features of membrane proteins with a
timescale of fast (108 Hz) and intermediate (104 -105 Hz)
fluctuation motions can be revealed easily by specific suppression
of peaks.
