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).

Magnetization transfer in lamellar liquid crystals

TL;DR: This study examines the relationship between quantitative magnetization transfer parameters and the molecular composition of a model lamellar liquid crystal (LLC) system composed of 1‐decyl alcohol, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and water.

Structure of the A-Form and B-Form of DNA from Deuterium NMR Line Shape Simulation †

TL;DR: In this paper, the 2H NMR spectral line shapes have been calculated by using the Monte Carlo method, i.e., by randomly sampling over the static uniaxial distributions of the base pairs and helix axes, and the results of the simulations and the structural parameters are in excellent agreement with X-ray diffraction studies.

Lipid-lipid and lipid-protein interactions in membranes

TL;DR: Evidence is summarized that, in some cases, the lipid composition in the interfacial region is influenced by the protein, and the various methods of characterizing isotropic and anisotropic motion are described.

Structural and functional studies of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor by solid-state NMR

TL;DR: The advances in solid-state NMR applied to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor are reviewed and the results with recent electron diffraction and X-ray crystallographic studies are compared.

Partitioning behaviour of 1-hexanol into lipid membranes as studied by deuterium NMR spectroscopy

TL;DR: It is suggested that 1-hexanol, and probably other lipophiles, can partition to either the bilayer surface or the bilayers interior in a time-dependent manner.

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.
