A water soluble hydrogenation catalyst (palladium di(sodium alizarine monosulphonate)) in a deuterium-containing environment has been used for thein situinsertion of deuterium atoms into the fatty acyl chains of biological membranes. The thermotropic response of the stretching vibrations of the formed C-D bonds, as detected by Fourier transform IR spectroscopy, was used as a selective probe of biological membrane structure. Partial deuteration of unsaturated fatty acyl chains coupled with IR detection potentially provides a means for detecting specific biological roles of particular lipid classes. In the current study of sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes and purified phospholipid/CaATPase vesicles, it is also shown that νC-D monitors change at particular membrane locations which may remain undetected through the CH2symmetric stretching frequency, a widely used IR spectral parameter. The latter reflects the average environment of the acyl chains. The approach described here may be suitable for wide applications to the study of biomembranes.
