TL;DR
NMR spectra of muscle water suggest that it exists in at least two ordered phases, which can be distinguished by the widths of their NMR signals, by deuterium exchange and by vacuum drying.
Abstract
NMR spectra of muscle water suggest that it exists in at least two ordered phases, which can be distinguished by the widths of their NMR signals, by deuterium exchange and by vacuum drying. Heat denaturation of muscle protein lessens this ordering.

It is suggested that the hyperpolarization produced by insulin is the cause of the potassium shift and the increase in intracellular K is probably too small and too late to account for the hyperPolarization on the basis of conventional theory.

143 Citations1967Freeman W. Cope
NMR studies show that Na+ is complexed by actomyosin, which may be the molecular site of complexation of some Na+ in muscle, which suggests that the water in the gel is organized into an icelike state by the nearby actomyOSin molecules.

The block was set assured thermal equilibrium between the solutions, and the entire assembly was rotated in a 25CC water bath for twenty-four hours with the axis of rotation about 50 off the verti-cal axis to keep the solutions constantly mixed.

Cation-sensitive glass microelectrodes were inserted into single striated muscle fibers of the giant barnacle, Balanus nubilus, to measure the activity of sodium and potassium in the myoplasm, allowing the minimal percentage of bound sodium and water to be calculated.

The proponents of the membrane theory have thus far presented a more persuasive set of arguments than their rivals in the field of ionic accumulation, which has undoubtedly dominated the thinking in this field.

Data are presented which indicate that the pseudo-first order rate constant for proton exchange between the two environments decreases upon depolarization of the nerve trunk and that the proton spin-spin relaxation time of the protons of intracellular water decreases significantly withdepolarization.

46 Citations1967George B. Chapman, K.A. McLauchlan
A PRELIMINARY study has been made of the water found in the sciatic nerve of rabbit by proton magnetic resonance, with results showing a certain amount of water was lost, as shown by condensation on the walls of the containers.
Bulletin of Mathematical BiologyA theory of cell hydration governed by adsorption of water on cell proteins rather than by osmotic pressure
40 Citations1967Freeman W. Cope
The virtue of the adsorption theory is that, unlike the osmotic pressure theory of cell swelling, it is compatible with permeability of the cell membrane to solutes, which has been experimentally observed for various solutes.

High resolution NMR studies on agar gels which at present can best be interpreted as indicating that the water in such a gel is in a modified "state" with properties of structural rigidity intermediate between ice and free water.

The present measurements indicate that the extent of thermally induced configurational changes in the proteins at elevated temperatures is strongly linked to the amount and structural properties of the adsorbed water.
