“…These observations prompted a series of two-dimensional (2D) 1 H NOESY MAS NMR experiments that allowed molecular contacts between different lipid regions, as well as between lipids and other constituents within the membrane to be determined [13][14][15][16][17][18]. The observation of contacts between the methyl protons in lipid headgroup and the protons of the terminal methyl in the alkyl chain lead to extensive discussion into the relative impact of spin diffusion and intermolecular dipolar interactions resulting from lipid disorder on the observed cross-relaxation in 1 H NOESY MAS NMR experiments [13,14,17,19,20]. More recently, the selectivity and sensitivity of 1 H MAS NMR has been improved by use of pulsed field gradients (PFG) [2].…”
