Measuring the NMR relaxation parameters of selectively excited protons within molecules bound to the cell membrane was shown to provide a profitable way of looking at the viruscell interaction. Such approach made it possible to delineate the virus adsorption to human red blood cells by using the NMR features of the cytoskeleton inhibitor colchicine.© 1985 Academic Press,Inc.
