Recent developments of high-resolution solid-state NMR allow us detailed analyses of the structures and functions of biological supramolecular systems that are difficult for X-ray crystallography and solution NMR to tackle on. Magic angle spinning and recoupling of spin interactions provide high resolution and structural information, respectively. This method is powerful to investigate the atomic structures of amyloid fibrils, membrane-bound peptides, ligand-membrane protein complexes, intact phages and light-harvesting chlorosomes. This method will open a new frontier in structural biology. Collaborations among solid-state NMR, X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy and solution NMR will make a great contribution to the life science.
