NMR spectroscopy and applications

Quantifying transmembrane water exchange by diffusion NMR methods: From yeast cells to optic nerve ex vivo

This paper compares two diffusion NMR methods for measuring water exchange in yeast cells and optic nerves, finding differences in results that suggest more complex compartmental models are needed for accurate analysis.

Exploring Cellular Water Dynamics associated with Potassium Ion Changes Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

This study uses MRI to show that potassium ion changes affect cellular water dynamics differently than hypoosmotic stress, with distinct effects on free and bound water pools.

Quantum Magnetization Exchange through Transient Hydrogen Bond Matrix Defines Magnetic Resonance Signal Relaxation and Anisotropy in Central Nervous System

The paper introduces a model of magnetic resonance signal relaxation in the CNS based on transient hydrogen bond matrices, showing two distinct components with different relaxation properties.

Steady-state water exchange in neural tissue is primarily passive and through the phospholipid bilayer

This study uses DEXSY NMR to show that steady-state water exchange in neural tissue is primarily passive through the phospholipid bilayer, not via ion-dependent channels.
