In 1985, the first X-ray structure of a membrane protein was determined. Today, more than 30 years later, many more structures have been solved. Nevertheless, studying the structure of membrane proteins remains a very challenging task. Due to their inherent conformational flexibility, having a single X-ray structure is usually only the first step towards truly understanding the function of these dynamic molecules. For this reason, additional methods are needed that can provide complementary information, especially about conformational flexibility. Pulsed electron-electron double resonance spectroscopy (PELDOR, also known as DEER) is such a method. It can be used to precisely measure nanometer distance distributions between intrinsic or artificially introduced spin-centers in macromolecules and thereby to probe the conformational state of the macromolecule. PELDOR can be applied in solution, in detergent, in lipid bilayers and even within cells. However, PELDOR is an advanced spectroscopy technique and requires specialised equipment and training. This chapter aims to be a starting point for crystallographers and other structural biologists who want to get a better understanding of PELDOR spectroscopy and its application. It gives an insight into the planning stages of the experiment (i.e., which spin labels are possible and where to place them), how a PELDOR experiment is conducted and how the results are interpreted. For this purpose, the substrate binding protein (SBP) from aVibrio choleraeTRAP transporter is used as a step-by-step example. Further, the chapter gives examples of how PELDOR spectroscopy has previously been applied to overcome known limitations of X-ray crystallography in modern integrative structural biology approaches.
