For the potential application in nanobiotechnology, we have synthesized three different lipophilic nucleosides and investigated their membrane insertion and localization by solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The hydrophilic headgroups of these nucleosides consist of an adenine or uracil nucleobase, which is attached to a ribose or deoxyribose moiety. The membrane affinity of these molecules is either achieved by the covalent attachment of a 1-octadecynyl
