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).

Acyl chain orientational order in large unilamellar vesicles: comparison with multilamellar liposomes: a 2H and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance study

TL;DR: Large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) composed of 1-[2H31]palmitoyl-2-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine (POPC-d31), with diameters of approximately 117 +/- 31 and 180 +/- 44 nm, were prepared by extrusion through polycarbonate filters with pore sizes of 0.1 and 0.2 microns.

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.
