In perdeuterated proteins at an optimal field strength of around 1 GHz, the line width of the sharp component is expected to be nearly independent of the molecular size.

Direct measurement of distances and angles in biomolecules by NMR in dilute liquid crystalline medium. of outstanding interest Science. 278:1997;1111-1114 Large residual dipolar couplings can be measured if proteins are dissolved in a solvent containing magnetically oriented bicelles in a liquid-crystalline phase. This technique makes the measurement of residual dipolar couplings possible, even for smaller proteins without a paramagnetic center, and improves the quality of NMR structures by adding additional constraints.

The protein alignment is proportional to the bicelle concentration, which makes the size of the residual dipolar coupling become a tunable parameter.

Results are shown for a complex of the transcription factor GATA-1 with 16 base-pair DNA, which suggests that in protein - DNA complexes, the magnetic susceptibility tensor is dominated by the DNA. The results indicate that the new constraints obtained from the residual dipolar couplings can be utilized in structure calculations and can improve the quality of structures.
