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).

Molecular Dynamics of a Liquid Crystalline Polymer Studied by Two-Dimensional Fourier Transform and CW ESR

TL;DR: In this paper, 2D-FT and CW-ESR experiments at X-band frequencies were performed over a broad range of temperatures covering the solid and melt states of a liquid crystalline (LC) polymer.

Biological membrane structure by solid-state NMR.

TL;DR: An overview of the different techniques used to study lipid bilayers, namely 31p, 2H and 13C solid-state NMR spectroscopy, can be found in this article.

Conformational order of the hydrocarbon chains in lipid bilayers. A Raman spectroscopic study

TL;DR: In this paper, the length of all-trans segments was evaluated in terms of the frequency of the longitudinal acoustical vibration band, and it was shown that the intensity of this band detd. from the band area increases linearly with chain length and is independent of chain length in the fluid phase.

Modification of the Erythrocyte Membrane Dielectric Constant by Alcohols

TL;DR: The large magnitude of the stimulation, the more pronounced effect on smaller ions, and the acceleration of both anions and cations suggest membrane dielectric constant change as the primary basis of alcohol effects.

Orientation dependence of 2H nuclear magnetic resonance spin‐lattice relaxation in phospholipid and phospholipid:cholesterol systems

TL;DR: In this article, structural and dynamic properties of phospholipids in the liquid crystalline phase were investigated using the general orientation dependence of spin-lattice relaxation for spin-1 nuclei, namely deuterium.

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.
