The19F nucleus offers numerous advantages for solid state NMR, being first and foremost its high sensitivity that is only exceeded by1H. Especially in non-crystallizable biological samples, such as membranes and fibers, the lack of a natural abundance background often makes selective19F-labeling the method of choice [1–3]. Anisotropie interactions are accessible in robust 1-pulse experiments on macroscopically oriented samples, whose spectral lineshapes are readily interpreted. This strategy is thus particularly useful for oriented membranes and aligned fibers. Magic angle spinning experiments are not covered here, though they are of course also a fruitful source of information [4–7]. In the following, we will describe how one or a few fluorine labels in a synthetic peptide can provide information about its local alignment, its dynamic behavior, and its three-dimensional architecture in a lipid membrane. Further details about the methodological aspects of19F-NMR structure analysis and biological applications to membrane-active peptides are covered in recent reviews [8–11].
