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).

Self assembly of anastomosis-like superstructures in fatty acid/guanidine hydrochloride aqueous dispersions

TL;DR: A mixture between 1% sodium myristate and guanidine hydrochloride at a molar ratio of 1 in water forms a gel of membranes below a phase transition and the formation of interconnected superstructures in that latter phase are reported.

Effects of fatty acid alpha-hydroxylation on glycosphingolipid properties in phosphatidylcholine bilayers

TL;DR: Results suggest that a significant aspect of the alpha-hydroxy group effect on glycosphingolipid behaviour in bilayer membranes with low glycolipid content was interference with glycolIPid packing amongst host phospholipids in the upper portion of the acyl chains.

Broadband pulses for excitation and inversion in I = 1 systems

TL;DR: In this article, two new broadband π pulses are presented which have bandwidths larger than other existing I = 1 inverting pulses without being significantly longer and are designed for use in quadrupole echo spectroscopy.

Cholesterol containing model membranes studied by multinuclear solid state NMR spectroscopy

TL;DR: Veatch et al. as mentioned in this paper examined the canonical model lipid raft system by a multinuclear approach using 2H static and 13C, 31P Magic Angle Spinning (MAS) NMR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deuterium NMR of specifically deuterated fluorine spin probes.

TL;DR: These results represent the first attempt at elucidating the perturbing effects of a high sensitivity probe (19F) and indicate that caution must be used when using spectroscopic probes to deduce the absolute magnitude of hydrocarbon chain order parameters.

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.
