Combined 2H-and 3~P-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of six D~O/phospholipid systems with different headgroup are presented to identify the molecular origin of unfrozen water detected in phospholipid membranes. When phospholipids are dispersed in excess water, NMR signals of water molecules
