Graphical Abstract

Ein gelöstes Rätsel: Die mit Lösungs-NMR-Spektroskopie bestimmte Struktur der aus sieben transmembranären Helices gebildeten Protonenpumpe Proteorhodopsin wurde durch Kombination von Daten aus NOE-Experimenten und verstärkter paramagnetischer Relaxation erhalten (siehe Bild). Die Genauigkeit, mit der die Struktur aufgeklärt wurde, konnte durch dipolare Restkopplungen verbessert werden.
