The function of a protein is determined both by its structure and by its interaction partners in the cell. Until now, proteins had to be isolated for analyzing them. Using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, scientists have now, for the first time, solved the structure of a protein within a living cell, the bacterium Escherichia coli.
