Membrane proteins are critical components of any cell, and their malfunction is associated with numerous diseases. For this reason, they represent a primary target for various drugs on the market, but both academic and pharmaceutical research is hindered by the challenges associated with obtaining stable and functioning samples.Artificial lipid membranes are crucial for the investigation of membrane proteins because of their ability to simulate the amphipathic native-like environment of the cell membrane. Recent studies have shown the dramatic advantages of using lipid/nanodiscs as compared to other types of membrane mimetics. While the nanodiscs prepared using scaffold proteins, peptides, and proteins have their advantages and limitations; there is significant interest in synthetic polymers because of the broad scope and feasibilities. Macromolecules such as copolymers of styrene and maleic acid (SMA) interact with lipids forming stable discoidal nanoparticles made of bilayer patches wrapped by the polymeric belt. These copolymers have also been used to extract membrane proteins directly from their native environment and isolate them into nanodiscs without using detergents. Despite the many successes reported in the literature, copolymer-nanodiscs still show several limitations, and new formulations are under development. The Ramamoorthy research group focused on the hydrophilic functionalization of a low molecular-weight SMA copolymer. This approach allowed for the tuning and enhancement of these polymers, particularly in the field of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.NMR is widely employed to study nanodiscs reconstituted membrane proteins but suffers from its intrinsic low sensitivity, which necessitates long data acquisition times. Paramagnetic resonance enhancement is among the strategies that have been used to enhance the sensitivity of NMR by reducing the spin-lattice relaxation or T1, a key parameter in assessing the duration of the required data acquisition. However, PRE requires the introduction of PRE-agents in the sample that could alter the sample's stability and function.This thesis reports a novel PRE-agent that does not involve (i) direct labeling of membrane proteins, (ii) the alteration of the surrounding lipid composition, or (iii) the presence of free metal ions in the sample. Specifically, SMA-EA-DOTA copolymer allows the chelation of paramagnetic ions directly in the copolymer-lipid nanodiscs' outer rim without contaminating the nanodiscs' constituents such as lipids and proteins, enabling T1-reduction. A variety of lanthanide ions are investigated to quantify the PRE effects and for use in nanodiscs-enabled studies on membrane systems.Since nanodiscs-forming copolymers act, de facto, as macromolecular detergents, this thesis also investigates the relationship between the critical micelle concentration (c.m.c.) of a set of SMA-copolymers and their ability to form nanodiscs. It was found that the interaction with phospholipids alters the copolymers' c.m.c. values, and the existence of an equilibrium between the «free» or «micellar» copolymer chains and the «nanodiscs-bound» copolymer chains. Because of this equilibrium, the thesis speculates the possibility of substituting inexpensive copolymers after membrane proteins isolation and purification with paramagnetically-tagged copolymers for magnetic resonance studies. Aside from PRE-NMR, membrane proteins reconstituted in paramagnetically-labeled nanodiscs, such as SMA-EA-DOTA, ST-10, ST-100, and mixed formulations, can be studied using other biophysical techniques including electron paramagnetic resonance and dynamic nuclear polarization NMR.Finally, paramagnetically-tagged copolymer nanodiscs can find new applications outside the biophysical and biochemical fields. For instance, these bioinspired paramagnetic nanoparticles might find applications in the fields of drug delivery and magnetic resonance imaging as macromolecular contrast agents for better diagnosis of solid tumors.
