largest protein structure through NMR

Hi,

The largest our lab (Clore/Gronenborn) has done is pdb code 3EZE, a ~40
kDa
protein/protein complex, and pdb 2EZO, a 44 kDa protein trimer.  

That's about as big as it gets right now.

Kurt Wuthrich has reported spectra of a 110 kDa system, but hasn't
solved
a structure.  His is a special case, because it's something like a
10-mer,
so the number of peaks is only as great as an 11 kDa protein, and each 
individual peak's height is also multiplied by 10.
