Membrane proteins are responsible for conducting essential biological functions that are necessary for the survival of living organisms. In spite of their physiological importance, limited structural information is currently available as a result of challenges in applying biophysical techniques for studying these protein systems. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is a very powerful technique to study the structural and dynamic properties of membrane proteins. However, the application of EPR spectroscopy to membrane proteins in a native membrane-bound state is extremely challenging due to the complexity observed in inhomogeneity sample preparation and the dynamic motion of the spin label. Detergent micelles are very popular membrane mimetics for membrane proteins due to their smaller size and homogeneity, providing high-resolution structure analysis by solution NMR spectroscopy. However, it is important to test
