Vesicle associated membrane protein 2 (VAMP2) contains a conserved SNARE motif that interacts with syntaxin-1 and SNAP25 for SNARE complex assembly. Here authors use in-cell NMR spectroscopy to describe the dynamic membrane association of VAMP2 SNARE motif in mammalian cells at the atomic resolution.
