The ability of amphipathic polymers to self-assemble with lipids and form nanodiscs has been a boon for the field of functional reconstitution of membrane proteins. In a field dominated by detergent micelles, a unique feature of polymer nanodiscs is their much-desired ability to align in the presence of an external magnetic field. Magnetic alignment facilitates the application of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and aids in the measurement of residual dipolar couplings via well-established solution NMR spectroscopy. In this study, we comprehensively investigate the magnetic alignment properties of styrene maleimide quaternary ammonium (SMA-QA) polymer-based nanodiscs by using P-31 and N-14 solid-state NMR experiments under static conditions. The results reported herein demonstrate the spontaneous magnetic alignment of large-sized (>= 20 nm diameter) SMA-QA nanodiscs (also called as macro-nanodiscs) with the lipid bilayer normal perpendicular to the magnetic field direction. Consequently, the orientation of macro-nanodiscs is further shown to flip the alignment axis parallel to the magnetic field direction upon the addition of a paramagnetic lanthanide salt. These results demonstrate the use of SMA-QA polymer nanodiscs for solid-state NMR applications including structural studies on membrane proteins.
