[Clusters of nonsolvent water in partially destroyed Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells].

The state of water in partially destroyed dry yeast cells has been studied using low-temperature 1H NMR spectroscopy. It has been shown that the residual water is in the form of clusters of strongly and weakly associated water (SAW and WAW, respectively). Three or more types of SAW different in the chemical shift values have been found.
