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).

Selective Protein-Lipid Interactions at Membrane Surfaces: A Deuterium and Phosphorus Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Study of the Association of Myelin Basic Protein with the Bilayer Head Groups of Dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine and Dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol

TL;DR: Results indicate that basic protein interacts with the acidic polar head group of phosphatidylglycerol, affecting its orientation or amplitude of motion, as well as its rate of motion.

Structure and dynamics of a glyceroglycolipid: a deuterium NMR study of head group orientation, ordering, and effect on lipid aggregate structure

TL;DR: In this article, the head group orientation and motional characteristics of 1,2-di-Otetradecyl-3-O-..beta..-D-glucopyranosylglycerol selectively labeled on the glucose moiety have been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and /sup 2/H NMR.

Membrane Structure and Dynamics Studied with NMR Spectroscopy

TL;DR: The lipid bilayer represents the fundamental permeability barrier to the passage of ions and polar molecules into or out of a cell or organelle and plays a role in the vectorial organization of membrane components.

Magnetic resonance investigations of lipid motion in isotropic bicelles.

TL;DR: A model is presented in which extensive local motion, in conjunction with the overall size, affects the spectral properties, and an analytical expression for the size dependence of the bicelles, relating the radius of the bilayer region with physical properties of the detergent and the lipid.

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.
