ssNMR (solid-state NMR) spectroscopy provides increasing possibilities to study the structural and dynamic aspects of biological membranes. Here, we review recent ssNMR experiments that are based on MAS (magic angle spinning) and that provide insight into the structure and dynamics of membrane systems at the atomic level. Such methods can be used to study membrane architecture, domain formation or molecular complexation in a way that is highly complementary to other biophysical methods such as imaging or calorimetry.

Ellagitannins have antimicrobial activity, which might be related to their interactions with membrane lipids. We studied the interactions of 12 different ellagitannins and pentagalloylglucose with a lipid extract of Escherichia coli by high-resolution magic angle spinning NMR spectroscopy. The nuclear Overhauser effect was utilized to measure the cross relaxation rates between ellagitannin and lipid protons. The shifting of lipid signals in 1H NMR spectra of ellagitannin–lipid mixture due to ring current effect was also observed. The ellagitannins that showed interaction with lipids had clear structural similarities. All ellagitannins that had interactions with lipids had glucopyranose cores. In addition to the central polyol, the most important structural feature affecting the interaction seemed to be the structural flexibility of the ellagitannin. Even dimeric and trimeric ellagitannins could penetrate to the lipid bilayers if their structures were flexible with free galloyl and hexahydroxydiphenoyl groups.
