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).

Interaction of NBD-labelled fatty amines with liquid-ordered membranes: a combined molecular dynamics simulation and fluorescence spectroscopy study.

TL;DR: The effects of these amphiphiles on the structure and dynamics of the host lipid were found to be relatively mild, in comparison with acyl-chain phospholipid analogues.

Distribution of Neutral Prilocaine in a Phospholipid Bilayer: Insights From Molecular Dynamics Simulations

TL;DR: In this article, a 20ns constant pressure molecular dynamics simulation of prilocaine (PLC), an amineamide local anesthetic, in a hydrated liquid crystal bilayer of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoylsn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine is presented.

The role of polar groups in the interaction of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine with chlorophyll a in monolayers

TL;DR: In this article, surface pressure-area studies of mixed monolayers of pure dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) with chlorophyll α or β-carotene have been conducted.

Labelling strategy and membrane characterization of marine bacteria Vibrio splendidus by in vivo 2H NMR

TL;DR: This study showed that V. splendidus can be labelled using deuterated palmitic acid, and demonstrated the importance of surfactant choice in the labelling protocol, and assessed the impact of lipid deuteration on the general fitness of the bacteria, as well as the saturated-to-unsaturated fatty acid chains ratio and its impact on the membrane properties.

Link between Fluorescent Probe Partitioning and Molecular Order of Liquid Ordered-Liquid Disordered Membranes.

TL;DR: 2H NMR measurements suggest that the strength of fluorescent probe partitioning between liquid ordered and liquid disordered phases correlates with the degree of perturbation to membrane phase behavior.

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.
