ConclusionThis study has focussed on the effect of different solvents on the amide and ester C= 0 stretch frequencies of valinomycin. Using the Raman spectrum of the solid-state con-formation D as a reference, tentative conclusions were drawn about the extent of hydrogen bonding of the amide and ester C= 0 groups. We find evidence suggesting that hydrogen-bonded ester C= 0 groups may be present in VM dissolved in nonpolar solvents; this in turn may indicate that conformer D is among the conformers present. Increasing the polarityof the solvent shifts the conformational equilibrium ofVM to forms containing fewer hydrogen bonds; these results are consistent with findings using other techniques. 8-11 A plot of vco vs. dielectric constant of the solvent reveals an increase in vco fr amide C= 0 groups and a decrease in vco for ester C= 0 groups. This mayreflect weakening or rupture of amide C= 0 hydrogen bonds induced by polar or hydrogen bonding solvents and a concomitant in-crease in solvent interaction with ester C= 0 groups. Further Raman studies will be made of VM incorporated into bilayers, as has recently been done for the membrane protein opsin. 27Acknowledgments. We acknowledge helpful discussions with Drs.
