Solid-state NMR – a complementary technique for protein framework characterization†
Abstract
Protein frameworks are an emerging class of biomaterial with medical and technological applications. Frameworks are studied mainly by X-ray diffraction or scattering techniques. Complementary strategies are required. Here, we report solid-state NMR analyses of a microcrystalline protein–macrocycle framework and the rehydrated freeze-dried protein. This methodology may aid the characterization of low-crystallinity frameworks.
