Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Solid‐state NMR is a powerful tool for studying membrane proteins in a native‐like lipid environment. 3D magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR was employed to characterize the structure of <italic>E.coli</italic> diacylglycerol kinase (DAGK) reconstituted into its native <italic>E.coli</italic> lipid membranes. The secondary structure and topology of DAGK revealed by solid‐state NMR are different from those determined by solution‐state NMR and X‐ray crystallography. This study provides a good example for demonstrating the influence of membrane environments on the structure of membrane proteins.</p> </abstract>
