## Abstract Until now the characterization of a star‐like structure has been based on an indirect method, i.e. the comparison of the molecular weight of the star polymer and its linear precursor. By preparing well‐defined and narrow‐molecular‐weight‐distribution polybutadiene and polyisoprene stars

✦ Synopsis
This Review covers the delineation and optimization of protein-lipid systems for study using solutionstate NMR spectroscopy. The first half presents the necessary background for a membrane protein biochemist to initiate collaboration with an NMR spectroscopist. The second half provides guidelines for the spectroscopist on data collection, analysis for obtaining conformational information, and structure generation and assessment. Although the emphasis is on the study of peptides in detergent micelles, methods are outlined for larger membrane-associated proteins and for use of other solubilizing agents.

Aesculus hippocastanum antimicrobial protein 1 (Ah-AMP1) is a plant defensin isolated from horse chestnuts. The plant defensins have been divided in several subfamilies according to their amino acid sequence homology. Ah-AMP1, belonging to subfamily A2, inhibits growth of a broad range of fungi. So
A statistical analysis is reported of 1,200 of the 1,404 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)derived protein and nucleic acid structures deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) before 1999.
