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).

Effect of glycosphingolipid fatty acid chain length on behavior in unsaturated phosphatidylcholine bilayers : A 2H NMR study

TL;DR: The binary phase diagrams, which reflect the behavior of short- and long-chain glycolipids in a common phospholipid host matrix, displayed important similarities and differences and appeared to be remarkably alike in fluid membranes.

Physico-Chemical Interactions between Alcohol and Biological Membranes

TL;DR: The search for a cogent, unifying mechanism that can be invoked to explain the multiple actions of ethanol and of other related alcohols on the physiology, biochemistry, and behavior of organisms has been pursued for many years.

Delta-haemolysin from Staphylococcus aureus and model membranes. A solid-state 2H-NMR and 31P-NMR study.

TL;DR: Solid-state 2H NMR and 31P NMR of 2H-enriched chains and polar head groups of dipalmitoylglycerophosphocholine phospholipids were undertaken to investigate the action of δ-haemolysin from Staphylococcus aureus on biomembranes, finding that both toxins perturb similarly fluid-phase lipids at elevated temperature, but they behave differently with gel- phase lipids.

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.
