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).

Statistical Thermodynamics of Biomembranes

TL;DR: An overview of the major issues involved in the statistical thermodynamic treatment of phospholipid membranes at the atomistic level is summarized: thermodynamic ensembles, initial configuration, force field representation as well as the representation of long-range interactions.

Deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance study of the interaction of branched chain compounds (phytanic acid, phytol) with a phospholipid model membrane.

TL;DR: The isoprenoid compounds cause significant disruption of the gel phase, forcing nearest neighbor phospholipid chains apart, in direct contrast to their straight chain analogues, hexadecanol and palmitic acid, which have been shown to elevate the phase transition temperature.

Deuteron spectroscopy and deuteron field-cycling nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry of the hydration water of lipid bilayers: The corrugated-sheet model for interface molecular dynamics in the ripple phase

TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamics of heavy water at the corrugated water/lipid interface was studied with the aid of field-cycling nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometry and NMR spectroscopy of the water deuterons.

13C cross‐polarization/magic angle spinning and 2H NMR studies of the structure and dynamics of the (deoxycholic acid)2–ferrocene inclusion compound

TL;DR: In this paper, the channel-type inclusion complex with perdeuterated ferrocene was studied by 13C cross-polarization/magic angle spinning NMR spectroscopy.

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.
