Jianping Li et al. present the homo-trimeric structure of the small integral membrane protein diacylglycerol kinase (DgkA) in phospholipid bilayers determined by magic angle spinning solid-state NMR spectroscopy. They compare the structure with structures solved by solution NMR and X-ray crystallography and provide insights into the influence of membrane mimetic environments on membrane proteins.
