How solid state NMR works and how it helps to understand proteins 

In this episode of Innovate and React  Anne Mayer, a PhD
researcher at Goethe-Universität Frankfurt, explains how
solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy works and
how she uses this analytical method for protein studies. We
dive into the fascinating world of NMR—from the basics of nuclear
spins and magnetic fields to the complex hardware challenges of
solid-state NMR. Anne shares how she investigates membrane
proteins and microbial rhodopsins, revealing how solid-state NMR
provides insights into protein dynamics and optogenetics. We also
discuss the importance of fundamental research, future
developments in solid-state NMR, and the interdisciplinary
collaboration behind cutting-edge chemical research.
