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).

Effects of cholesterol on the orientational order of unsaturated lipids in the membranes of Acholeplasma laidlawii: A 2H-NMR study

TL;DR: This is the only 2H-NMR study to date of the influence of cholesterol in a biological membrane using specifically labelled fatty acids, and the characteristic condensing effect of cholesterol on the lipid acyl chain order in the liquid crystalline phase is observed.

Hepatitis B subvirus particles display both a fluid bilayer membrane and a strong resistance to freeze drying: a study by solid-state NMR, light scattering, and cryo-electron microscopy/tomography

TL;DR: The HBsAg particles of 20‐ to 24‐nm diameter were surprisingly found resistant to lyophilization, in such a way that trapped water inside particles could not be removed, bringing more insight into the mode of action of native subviral particles and their recombinant counterparts used in vaccines.

DHA Modifies the Size and Composition of Raftlike Domains: A Solid-State 2H NMR Study

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the molecular organization of [2H31]-N-palmitoylsphingomyelin (PSM-d31) mixed with [3α-2H1]cholesterol (chol-d1) and 1-[2H 31]palmitoylel-2-docosahexaenoylphosphatidylcholine (PDPC)-d31, in a model membrane by solid-state 2H NMR.

Side chain and backbone dynamics of phospholamban in phospholipid bilayers utilizing 2H and 15N solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

TL;DR: 2H and 15N solid-state NMR spectroscopic techniques were used to investigate both the side chain and backbone dynamics of wild-type phospholamban and its phosphorylated form incorporated into 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoysl-sn-glycerophosphocholine (POPC) phospholipid bilayers.

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.
