Polymer nanodiscs and macro-nanodiscs of a varying lipid composition.

ABSTRACT: Polymer lipid nanodiscs have enabled some exciting structural biology and nanobiotechnology applications. The use of a small molecular weight polymer (SMA-EA) has been demonstrated to dramatically increase the size of nanodiscs (up to ∼60 nm diameter). Here, we report the first demonstration of the formation of macro-nanodiscs for a variety of lipids, and solid-state NMR experiments utilizing their magnetic-alignment properties.
