Flexible lipid nanomaterials studied by NMR spectroscopy.

Our review addresses how material properties emerge from atomistic-level interactions in the case of lipid membrane nanostructures. We summarize advances in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in conjunction with alternative small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering methods for investigating lipid flexibility and dynamics. Solid-state 2H NMR is advantageous in that it provides atomistically resolved information about the order parameters and mobility of phospholipids within liquid-crystalline membranes.

Elastic deformation and area per lipid of membranes: atomistic view from solid-state deuterium NMR spectroscopy.

This article reviews the application of solid-state ²H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for investigating the deformation of lipid bilayers at the atomistic level. For liquid-crystalline membranes, the average structure is manifested by the segmental order parameters (SCD) of the lipids. Solid-state ²H NMR yields observables directly related to the stress field of the lipid bilayer.

Solid-state ²H NMR shows equivalence of dehydration and osmotic pressures in lipid membrane deformation.

Lipid bilayers represent a fascinating class of biomaterials whose properties are altered by changes in pressure or temperature. Functions of cellular membranes can be affected by nonspecific lipid-protein interactions that depend on bilayer material properties. Here we address the changes in lipid bilayer structure induced by external pressure.

Study of molecular dynamics and cross relaxation in tetramethylammonium hexafluorophosphate (CH(3))(4)NPF(6) by (1)H and (19)F NMR.

(CH(3))(4)NPF(6) is studied by NMR measurements to understand the internal motions and cross relaxation mechanism between the heterogeneous nuclei. The spin lattice relaxation times (T(1)) are measured for (1)H and (19)F nuclei, at three (11.4, 16.
