TLDR
Proton and carbon-13 nmr spectra of unsonicated lipid bilayers and biological membranes are generally dominated by strong proton-proton and proton–carbon dipolar interactions and are rather difficult to analyse.
Abstract
Proton and carbon-13 nmr spectra of unsonicated lipid bilayers and biological membranes are generally dominated by strong proton–proton and proton–carbon dipolar interactions. As a result the spectra contain a large number of overlapping resonances and are rather difficult to analyse. Nevertheless, important information on the structure and dynamic behaviour of lipid systems has been provided by these techniques (Wennerstrom & Lindblom, 1977).

Lipid Interactions and Organization in Complex Bilayer Membranes

TL;DR: Both the fluorescence spectroscopy and (2)H NMR data suggest that the complex five-component membranes displayed lateral heterogeneity, at least in the lower temperature regimen examined.

Biophysical studies of the membrane location of the voltage-gated sensors in the HsapBK and KvAP K+ channels

TL;DR: The present study demonstrates that the fragments derived from the full-length proteins interact with the bilayered interior of model membranes, and that they affect both the local mobility and lipid order of model membrane systems.

Fluorine-19 nuclear magnetic resonance studies of lipid fatty acyl chain order and dynamics in Acholeplasma laidlawii B membranes. Gel-state disorder in the presence of methyl iso- and anteiso-branched-chain substituents.

TL;DR: The hydrocarbon chain orientational order parameters of membranes of Acholeplasma laidlawii B enriched with large quantities of linear saturated, a methyl iso-branched, or a methyl anteiso-branched fatty acid plus small quantities of various isomeric monofluoropalmitic acid probes were determined via fluorine-19 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (19F NMR) over a range of temperatures spanning the gel to liquid-crystalline phase transitions (determined by differential scanning calorimetry) as discussed by the authors.

2H- and 31P-NMR studies of bilayers composed of 1-acyllysophosphatidylcholine and fatty acids

TL;DR: In this paper, 1-Palmitoyllysophosphatidylcholine has been mixed in equimolar amounts with specifically deuterated palmitic acid and the structural properties of the lipid/water phase have been studied by 2H-and 31P-nuclear magnetic resonance.

Principles of magnetic resonance

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of changing the precession frequency of the magnetic field has been studied using NMR to study rate properties. But the effect is limited to the case of double and double resonance.
