Revised Manuscript Received January 11, 1993 abstract: Phospholipid monomolecular films at the air/water interface were studied using Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) surface chemistry, 31P NMR spectroscopy, and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. These monolayers were composed of binary mixtures of acyl chain perdeuterated 1, 2-dipalmitoyl-szi-glycero-3-phosphocholine (ie, DPPC-ifo) with l, 2-dipalmitoyl-jn-glycero-3-phosphoglycerol (ie, DPPG). Thisparticular PC-PG binary mixture was chosen for study since this lipid system has been used as a model for pulmonary surfactant, especially in conjunction with theso-called “squeezing-out” hypothesis of pulmonary mechanics. This theory predicts that upon successive compression-expansion cycles, a surfactant surface film will reorganize to exclude all components except DPPC, thus resulting in a stable, low surface tension film. Several general results were obtained from these experiments. First, we have developed a combined spectroscopic assay using high-resolution 31P NMR spectroscopy in combination with the CH and CD vibrational intensities obtained from the IR spectroscopy of binary mixtures in which one component is acyl chain perdeuterated. Using attenuated total reflectance IR spectroscopy of transferred LB films, this combined spectroscopic approach allows us to quantitatively describe the fractional composition of each component in the binary monomolecular film. Second, when these methods are applied to transferred monolayer filmsof DPPC-ífa and DPPG (at an initial PC: PG mole ratio of 7: 1), we find no evidence for a “squeezing-out” of the DPPG monolayer component at high surfacepressure resulting in an enrichment of the DPPC component in the transferred monolayer film. On the contrary, the IR results indicatethat at high surfacepressures, both DPPC-Pulmonary surfactant is a heterogeneous lipid-protein complex which is secreted by type II cells of the pulmonary alveolus. The function of this surfactant is to reduce the surface tension in vivo at the air-alveolar interface to near zero [see, eg, Scarpelli (1988)]. The lipid constitutents of pulmonary surfactant have been characterizedchromatographically as belonging to as many as seven major phospholipid classes (King & Clements, 1972; Goerke & Clements, 1986; Bonnano et al., 1992). Lipid containing phosphocholine (PC) 1 can comprise up to 80^ 85% of surfactant phospholipids, with over half of the PC fraction belonging to the saturated species l, 2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC). The second most abundant lipid class is usually phosphoglycerol (PG), which accounts for approximately 5-10% of the total surfactant phospholipid. The remainder of the surfactant lipid consists of phosphoethanolamines, phosphoinositols, phos-
