Investigators have used nuclear magnetic resonance methods to determine the structure of the largest membrane-spanning protein to date. The group's ability to determine the NMR structure of the bacterial protein diacylglycerol kinase, reported in the journal Science, suggests that similar methods can now be used to study the structures of other membrane proteins.
