Prof. Gottfried Otting
Protein functions depend on 3D structure. We use NMR spectroscopy to assess the structure and structural changes of proteins and their complexes with other molecules (proteins, DNA, drugs). Using NMR spectroscopy, we can do this in aqueous solution, i.e. under near-physiological conditions. In particular, we develop new methods for studying complexes of greater molecular weight and of biological and medical interest.
Prof. Mei Hong
The Hong group develops and applies high-resolution solid-state NMR spectroscopy to elucidate the structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules, with an emphasis on membrane proteins. We design magic-angle-spinning NMR techniques that measure inter-atomic distances and molecular motions, and apply these techniques to problems in biology, pharmacology, and biomaterials. We have a long-standing interest in ion channels and curvature-inducing membrane proteins. We are also investigating the polysaccharide structures in energy-rich plant cell walls and amyloid proteins involved in neurodegenerative diseases. We study these complex noncrystalline proteins and carbohydrates in their native environments, at atomic resolution, with both structural and dynamical details, from which we obtain mechanistic insights that are rarely available from other structural techniques.

This may eventually lead to new types of NMR and MRI experiment, for example forming images of cancer activity, using just a magnet and radio waves, avoiding the need for an operation, or the use of damaging high-energy radiation

We are using solution-state NMR spectroscopy to study the partially destabilized so-called invisible-states of these amyloidogenic proteins by which fibril formation is believed to be initiated and obtain atomic resolution information on residues that initiate protein aggregation. On the other hand, the structure of the amyloid fibrils are also being investigated using “magic-angle” spinning solid-state NMR and another key interest area of our group is to understand the mechanism of signal transduction by G-protein coupled receoptors (GPCR). Because these are membrane proteins and very dynamic in nature, investigations into their structure and dynamics have eluded the scientific community by standard biophysical techniques. Solid state NMR using Cross-polarization with magic-angle spinning (CP-MAS) is a novel biophysical technique that can be used to investigate the structure, and more importantly, the dynamics of these membrane proteins.
