The table below provides information about integral membrane proteins whose structures have been determined by solution-state (blue background), oriented solid-state NMR (grey background) or magic-angle spinning solid-state NMR (pink background), to a resolution sufficient to have resulted in a file deposited at the RCSB Protein Data Bank.

When possible, the table below also provides chemical shift assignments deposited at the Biological Magnetic Resonance Data Bank, protein size and oligomeric state, production source, reconstitution medium and primary reference.
