Siminovitch, and RG Griffin* Francis Bitter National Magnet Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 Received December 20, 1984 abstract: Deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance(2H NMR) spectra of specifically head-group-and chain-deuterated ester-and ether-linked phosphatidylcholine bilayers were studied as a function of temperature over the range-33 to 50 C. Head-group-deuterated dihexadecylphosphatidylcholine ([a-2H2] DHPC) bilayers yield line shapes and spin-lattice relaxation times similar to those observed for its ester-linked counterpart, dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine ([a-2H2] DPPC), in the high-temperature ripple and La bilayer phases. Theseresults indicate the ether linkage has no effect on the dynamics or the orientational order at the a-C2H2 segment of the phosphocholine head group. At all temperatures, the 2H NMR spectra of chain-deuterated 1, 2 [1', 1'-2H2] DHPC bilayers exhibit a reduced spectral width compared to 1, 2 [2\2/-2H2] DPPC bilayers. The most significant feature of the deuterated alkyl chain spectrum of DHPC at 45C is the observation of four separate quadrupolarsplittings from the-methylene segments of the alkyl chains, in comparison to the threequadrupolar splittings reported previously from the-methylene segments of the acyl chains of DPPC. Spin-lattice relaxationexperiments performed on DHPC suggest an assignment of the two smaller and the two larger quadrupolar splittings to separate alkyl chains, respectively. Lowtemperature (<-20 C) gel-phase spectra of deuterated head-group [a-2H2] DHPC remain an order of magnitude narrower than those observed for [a-2H2] DPPC. Line shapes of chain-labeled DHPC are invariant to temperature over the 40 C range from 20 to-20 C, whereas in DPPC, there is a substantial change in the line shape below 0 C. These observations may be explained by the formation of an interdigitated DHPC bilayer gel phase in which axialdiffusion of the lipid molecule persists down to temperatures at least 20 C below the temperature at which axialdiffusion of DPPC ceases (~
