Abstract: | 17O- and 2H-NMR spectra were obtained of a lamellar phase of dipalmitoyl-3sn-phosphatidylcholine (DPL) and D2 17O with water content of 3--15 moles water/mole DPL, in the temperature range 20 to 80 degrees C. In every case, the quadrupole splittings observed for 17O were 6.6 times larger than those for 2H. Therefore the two methods contain in principle the same information, but with less details from 17O. On the other hand, dynamic information is easily obtained from 17O linewidth data and complements the deuterium results. |
