One of the most powerful techniques that has been applied to the study of biological and model membranes is nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Questions regarding both static and dynamic aspects of membrane structure can be probed via an almost limitless number of pulse sequences, thereby providing a wealth of information not easily obtained from other techniques. One reason for the usefulness of NMR in the elucidation of membrane structure stems from the anisotropic nature of molecular motions within liquidcrystalline lipid bilayers. This is true for intramolecular reorientations of lipid functional groups (acyl chains, headgroups) as well as motions of the whole molecule (rotational and lateral diffusion, transbilayer transport). NMR allows characterization of these motions because many magnetic interactions are themselves anisotropic (e.g., the chemical shift anisotropy, dipolar and quadrupolar interactions). Information on molecular ordering and orientation, rate and type of motion(s) and polymorphism have been obtained from such techniques as solid-state 2H[1-6] 31p_ [2,7-9] and 13C-NMR [2]. Unlike other methods such as fluorescence and ESR which rely on bulky reporter groups, NMR is entirely non-perturbing. A wide range of nuclei are available for study
