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).

[8] Solid state nuclear magnetic resonance of lipid bilayers

TL;DR: It is found that since the oscillating components are adjusted to the same frequency, the spin systems are in resonance and mutual spin flips can occur and heat can flow between the reservoirs, and they equilibrate to a common spin temperature.

Mechanical properties of lipid bilayers from molecular dynamics simulation.

TL;DR: Simulated KC are in near quantitative agreement with vesicle flicker experiments, but are somewhat larger than KC from X-ray, pipette aspiration, and neutron spin echo for saturated lipids.

Alkaline Lyotropic Silicate−Surfactant Liquid Crystals

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used multinuclear (2H, 13C, 29Si, 81Br) magnetic resonance spectroscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering, and polarized optical microscopy techniques to investigate molecular and mesoscopic organization in silicate−surfactant lyotropic liquid crystals with hexagonal and lamellar morphologies under highly alkaline conditions.

Modulation of phospholipid acyl chain order by cholesterol. A solid-state 2H nuclear magnetic resonance study.

TL;DR: A molecular mechanism is proposed in which increasing the concentration of cholesterol has the effect of stretching the acyl chains of phospholipids by increasing the population of trans conformers up to a stage where the hydrophobic length is considerably longer than the cholesterol molecule.

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.
