PHOSPHOROUS nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has recently been used in studies of intact cells, and many phosphate metabolites have been observed and identified. One valuable result of these studies has been the determination of intracellularpH (refs 1–3) using the fact that the position of the31P NMR peak of inorganic phosphate (Pi) shifts as Piis protonated.31P NMR measurements of energisedEscherichia coli3have shown that a δpH is maintained across the membranes in agreement with previous measurements of δpH determined from the distribution of a weak acid, such as DMO, between the inner and outer volumes4. Although there is considerable evidence for the existence of δpH from studies of isolated mitochondria5–8, no direct measurements have been reported of apH difference between cytosol and mitochondria in whole cellsin vivo. However, there is indirect evidence for such a gradient from studies of the distribution of anions between the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial contents of disrupted rat liver cells9. In this preliminary report we show that31P NMR can be used to detect phosphate metabolites in rat liver cells and to measure directly δpH between mitochondria and cytosol in the intact cell.
