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).

Synthesis of methyl ω-deuterated tetradecanoate and hexadecanoate

TL;DR: In this article, two synthetic routes from methyl hydrogen tetradecanedioate have been proposed for the synthesis of ω-deuterated alkanoic acids, one using the selective reducing properties of sodium borodeuteride and the other using a coupling reaction between an organic halide and lithium di-(trideuteriomethyl) cuprate.

Orientation and conformation of lipids in crystals of transmembrane proteins.

TL;DR: The order parameters of the lipid chains and glycerol backbones in protein crystals are characterised by a much wider distribution of orientational order than is found in fluid lipid bilayers and reconstituted lipid–protein membranes, which indicates that the lipids that are resolved in crystals of membrane proteins are mostly not representative of the entire lipid– protein interface.

Microscopy and Deuterium NMR Studies on Induced Cholesteric Lyotropic Mesophases of Potassium Laurate

TL;DR: In this article, the textures of oriented cholesteric samples were examined under the polarizing microscope and the associated patterns depended on the mesophase type and on the applied field direction.

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.
