Cross beta-sheet structure formation and abnormal aggregation of proteins are thought to be pathological characteristics of some neurodegenerative disorders. To investigate the novel structural transformation and aggregation, the solid-state secondary structures of some proteins and peptides associa

## Abstract α‐Synuclein (α‐Syn) has been identified as a component of intracellular fibrillar deposits in Parkinson's disease. Though the real pathogenesis is still unknown, many investigations have revealed that conformational alteration and fibril formation of α‐Syn protein have an important role
## Abstract Fibril formation in human calcitonin (hCT) from aqueous solution at pH 4.1 was examined and compared with those at pH 3.3 and 7.5 corresponding to three different net charges by means of site‐directed ^13^C solid‐state NMR spectroscopy. Notably, the observed ^13^C chemical shifts and li
**__Membrane proteins__** can now be studied in their native environments by using high‐resolution solid‐state NMR spectroscopy. Techniques that probe rigid, mobile, and water‐exposed protein segments provide insight into the membrane‐embedded structure of sensory rhodopsin II from __Natronomonas ph
