Improved sensitivity and resolution of in-cell NMR spectra

2019 
Abstract In-cell NMR spectroscopy is a powerful tool to study protein structures and interactions under near physiological conditions in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic living cells. The low sensitivity and resolution of in-cell NMR spectra and limited lifetime of cells over the course of an in-cell experiment have presented major hurdles to wide acceptance of the technique, limiting it to a few select systems. These issues are addressed by introducing the use of the CRINEPT pulse sequence to increase the sensitivity and resolution of in-cell NMR spectra and the use of a bioreactor to maintain cell viability for up to 24 h. Application of advanced pulse sequences and bioreactor during in-cell NMR experiments will facilitate the exploration of a wide range of biological processes.
