title: Paramagnetic effects on the NMR spectra of isotropic bicelles with headgroup modified chelator lipids and metal ions.
abstract: We characterized the paramagnetic effects of nine metal ions on NMR signals of isotropic bicelles with headgroup-modified lipids. We found that Mn(2+), Gd(3+) and Dy(3+) show evidence for influencing NMR signals on the surface more than inside and on the disc edge, providing distance information in the bilayers.
