This minireview focuses on diffusion NMR studies in bicelles. Following a discourse on diffusion fundamentals, and a comparative overview of fluorescence and NMR-based techniques for measuring diffusion, the pulsed field gradient (PFG) NMR diffusion method is introduced, emphasizing its specific advantages and limitations when applied to diffusion measurements in macroscopically oriented lamellar systems such as magnetically aligned bicelles. The utility of PFG NMR diffusion measurements in bicellar model membrane systems for examining lateral diffusion of membrane-bound molecular species is demonstrated, along with certain features of lateral diffusion that such studies illuminate. Further, those aspects of bicelle morphology that have been resolved using PFG NMR diffusion studies of various molecular weight soluble polymeric species are reviewed. The discussion concludes with an outline of future prospects for diffusion NMR studies in bicelles.

The pfg-NMR diffusion technique is proposed to have an appreciable potential for future biophysical investigations in the field of membrane biology. Topics like transport of molecules both across and in the plane of the membrane can be successfully studied, as well as the formation of lipid domains and their intrinsic dynamics can be scrutinized. This short review will introduce the fundamental aspects of orientation dependent NMR interactions and the technique of macroscopically oriented bilayers for eliminating the unwanted effects of those interactions. The pfg-NMR technique will be briefly introduced and finally, some recent results illustrating the potential of the method are presented.
