Natural-abundance carbon-13 NMR spectra of various synthetic and natural phospholipids of biochemical interest were measured in chloroform-methanol-water (50: 50: 15, by volume). In this solvent, nonaggregation is indicated by narrow resonances, by reproducible chemical shifts, and by the consistency of two-bond and three-bond carbon-phosphorus couplings which were observed for phospholipids containing a choline, ethanolamine, or bromoethanol headgroup. The choline phospholipids also showed well-defined 13C-14N couplings. Further substitution of alkyl for acyl side chains or of diols for the glycerol backbone permitted unequivocal assignment of headgroupand backbone carbon resonances. The magnitude of VCp couplings (averaging 7.6 Hz) clearly demonstrates that the respective carbons (Cb) of theheadgroup and backbone (C6) of a wide range of choline and ethanolamine phospholipids in solution prefer trans orientation relative to the phosphorus; only in 1, 3-diacylglycero-2-phosphocholine, the glycerol backbone remains essentially in gauche conformation. Observation of carbon-phosphorusand carbon-nitrogen couplings and 2JCP and 3t/CP values are shown to be useful criteria in assigning chemical shifts in 13C NMR spectra of phospholipids.Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) spec-troscopy2 is often the method of choice for defining structural parameters, conformations, and interactions of complex biomolecules in solution. Yet, most phospho-lipids, due to their amphiphilic nature, resist solubilization in polar as well as nonpolar solvents by forming liposomes
