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).

Solid State NMR of Lipid Model Membranes

TL;DR: The use of solid state nuclear magnetic spectroscopy to study the structure of lyotropic phases and lipid model membranes and its ability to probe, site specifically, at a sub-Ångstrom resolution is described.

NMR of Protein-Lipid Interactions in Model and Biological Membrane Systems

TL;DR: It is shown that protein-lipid interactions in both model and intact biological membranes are characterized by a dynamic disordering of boundary- lipid hydrocarbon chains, as viewed by high-field deuterium NMR spectroscopy, while 31P spectra indicate significant disordering and/or immobilization within the phospholipid polar head group region due to association with protein.

Thermotropic ionic liquid crystals. V. Deuterium NMR study of sodium n-alkanoates

TL;DR: In this paper, deuterium NMR spectra and spin-lattice relaxation timesT 1 were obtained as functions of temperature for α−deuterated sodiumn−alkanoates (n c = 4−7) in the smecticA and isotropic liquid phases.

Lipid Dynamics in Membranes

TL;DR: The lipid bilayers, both as simply a lipid bilayer and as a bilayer in a biological membrane, has unique properties that are particularly well defined by dynamics measurements, and these properties are seen to a lesser extent in intracellular membranes.

Amphiphilic Association Structure and Skin Lotions

TL;DR: In this article, the action of skin lotions against time dependent changes in their composition and structure and the specific influence on the skin by the different final structures is reviewed, as well as specific influence of the skin texture on the final structure.

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.
