Solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a very successful method to characterize the structure and dynamics of biomolecules in solution.[1, 2] However, resonance lines broaden significantly with increasing molecular weight, simultaneously affecting sensitivity and resolution. This broadening is due to long rotational tumbling correlation times tc, which enhance transverse relaxation.[3] Deleterious relaxation effects can be partially avoided by the use of transverse relaxation-optimized spectroscopy (TROSY), which is based on mutual cancellation of different relaxation pathways and which allows the selection of slowly relaxing multiplet components.[4, 5] TROSY-type techniques have thus enabled the characterization of supramolecular assemblies like GroEL-GroES,[6] p53/Hsp90,[7] the ATPase motor SecA,[8] ClpP,[9] or the 20S proteasome.[10, 11] However, even at very high magnetic fields, low molecular tumbling rates limit the applicability of solution-state NMR. In particular, the assignment of backbone resonances becomes increasingly difficult for protein complexes beyond 80 kDa. Typically, methyl-based experiments are carried out for very large systems, as contributions from overall tumbling are reduced owing to the fast three-fold rotation of the methyl group.[5]In magic-angle spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR, immobilized samples are spun rapidly in a cylindrical rotor, which is inclined at an angle VMA of 54.748 relative to the magnetic field of the NMR spectrometer.[12] MAS yields resonance line narrowing by refocusing coherent anisotropic interactions, such as the dipolar coupling and the chemical shift anisotropy.
