TLDR
In this paper, the quadrupolar spin echo from deuterons in ordered hydrocarbon systems is shown to provide a much more reliable spectrum than the conventional free induction decay Fourier transform.About:

The Preference of Tryptophan for Membrane Interfaces
TL;DR: It is found that the interactions of four tryptophan analogues with phosphatidylcholine membranes find that the analogues reside in the vicinity of the glycerol group where they all cause similar modest changes in acyl chain organization and that hydrocarbon penetration was not increased by reduction of hydrogen bonding or electric dipole interaction ability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical properties of the fluid lipid-bilayer component of cell membranes: a perspective.
TL;DR: The motivation for this review arises from the conviction that, as a result of the mass of experimental data and observations collected in recent years, the study of the physical properties of membranes is now entering a new stage of development.

Lipid conformation in model membranes and biological membranes.

TL;DR: Protein molecules in solution or in protein crystals are characterized by rather well-defined structures in which α-helical regions, β-pleated sheets, etc., are the key features, and the double helix of nucleic acids has almost become the trademark of molecular biology as such.

Molecular Orientation and Two-Component Nature of the Crystalline Fraction of Spider Dragline Silk
TL;DR: Solid-state 2H nuclear magnetic resonance data from unoriented, oriented, and supercontracted fibers suggest that it will be necessary to control the secondary structure of individual polymer molecules in order to obtain optimum properties in bio-inspired polymers.

Liquid Domains in Vesicles Investigated by NMR and Fluorescence Microscopy
TL;DR: The results reemphasize the complex phase behavior of cholesterol-containing membranes and provide a framework for interpreting (2)H-NMR experiments in similar membranes.

Phase transitions and fluidity characteristics of lipids and cell membranes.
TL;DR: It is stated that the combination of flow and lability with a preferred and relatively stable molecular orientation – that makes the mesomorphic (i.e. liquid crystal) phase uniquely appropriate to the structure of protoplasm and living tissue.

Chain ordering in liquid crystals. I. Even‐odd effect
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a self-consistent molecular field approximation to calculate the nematic orientational ordering of a system where molecules consist of rigid parts and chains, and provided an explanation for the even-odd effect in isotropic-nematic transition temperatures.
