Active cells contain 60-95% water. Even dormant cells, spores and seeds have water
contents of 10-20%. The unique properties of the water molecule makes water especially …

The characteristics of water diffusional permeability (P) of human red blood cells were
studied on isolated erythrocytes and ghosts by a doping nuclear magnetic resonance …

NMR methods for measuring membrane transport rates rely in most cases upon there being
a significant transmembrane difference in either the resonance frequency or the NMR …

A light-scattering technique used to measure the water permeability across closed
biomembranes is described, which is based on the different indices of refraction of D2O and …

The response of human red blood cells to the cryoprotective agents, DMSO and glycerol,
has been investigated using a pulsed NMR method. The experimentally determined …

There has been broad disagreement in the literature regarding the dependence of water
exchange times (T e) across erythrocyte membranes studied by the 1 H-NMR Carr-Purcell …

The inhibition of water diffusion across the rat erythrocyte membrane was studied by NMR
using two basically different types of inhibitory agents: PCMB and in vivo irradiation. The …

The measurement of rapid solute exchange through biological membranes by conventional
techniques becomes increasingly difficult in the range of high permeabilities. Bulk diffusion …
