The 31P chemical shift anisotropies,, and the 31P spin-lattice relaxation times, 7h were measured as a function of pressure from 1 bar to 5 kbar at 50 C for both pure DPPC and DPPC/TTC bilayers. This pressure range permitted us to explore the rich phase behavior of DPPC from the liquid-crystalline (LC) phase through various gel phases such as gel I (P/), gel II (L/), gel III, gel IV, gel X, and the interdigitated, Gi, gel phase. For pure DPPC bilayers, pressure had an ordering effect on the phospholipid headgroup within the same phase and induced an interdigitated Gi gel phase which was formed between the gel I (P/) and gel II (L/) phases. The 31P spin-lattice relaxation time measurements showed that the main phase transition (LC to gel I) was ac-companied by the transition between the fast and slow correlation time regimes. Axially symmetric 31P NMR lineshapes were observed at pressures up to~ 3 kbar but changed to characteristic axially asymmetric rigid lattice lineshapes athigher pressures (3.1-5.1 kbar). As expected, the addition of the positively charged form of TTC increased the absolute value of the 31P chemical shift anisotropy,||, and brought about a change in the conformation of the headgroup which swung toward the bilayer normal, from its usual orientation parallel to the membrane surface. The addition of TTC also raised the critical pressure of the main phase transition and induced the formation of an interdigitated Gi gel phase directly from the LC phase. Interestingly the expressions for 31P,, introduced by Scherer and Seelig (1989) to determine the effect of electric surface charge on the polar headgroup of phospholipid bilayers were found applicable for the LC phase at high pressures and also for the gel phases at pressures in excess of 3.5 kbar.There has been a growing interest in pressure as an exper-imental variable in studies of membranes by a variety of ex-perimental techniques, including IR and Raman spectroscopy (Wong, 1987a, b), fluorescence spectroscopy (Chong, 1988; Chong & Weber, 1983), X-ray diffraction (Stamatoff et al., 1978), neutron scattering (Braganza & Worcester, 1986a, b; Winter & Pilgrim, 1989; Winter et al., 1991), NMR1 (Jonas et al., 1988; Driscoll et al., 1991a, b), and light transmission (Prasad et al., 1987). Pressure variation at constant temperature in studies of membranes allows theidentification of pure volume effects, and in addition, it also allows us to change continuously the intermolecular interaction in the system studied. In contrast, temperature changes result in simulta-neous thermal and volume effects which are very difficult to separate. Byapplying high pressure to membrane systems, one can not only observe volume effects but produce new pressure-induced phases (Wong et al., 1988). Temperature-pressure phase diagrams have been generated for several phospholipid systems (Braganza & Worcester, 1986a, b; Prasad et al., 1987; Wong et al., 1988). In our laboratory, we have initiated systematic high-pressure NMR studies on model phospholipid membranes (Jonas et al., 1988, 1990; Driscoll et al., 1991a, b). Of particular relevance to the present study are two of …
