Ion C. Baianu, 1 H. S. Gutowsky, and EricOldfield* abstract: We have obtained deuterium NMR spin-echo spectra of crystalline-[-2 6] valine,[S-methyi-2H}\-methionine, cyanoferrimyoglobin from sperm whale (Physeter catodon), containing deuteriomethyl groups at methionine-55 and methionine-131, and [-y-2H6] valine-labeled bacterio-rhodopsin in the purple membrane of Halobacterium halobium R]. By using 90--ك90 (XY) and 90——/30·(XX) pulse se-quences and observing the dependence of the spin-echo am-plitude upon the interpulse spacingr, we have determined that the so-called “quadrupole echoes” obtained in these typical selectively deuterated condensed-phase biological systems are in fact strongly modulated by proton-deuteron and deuteron-deuteron dipolar interactions. The two amino acids and the protein crystals behaved as typical organic solids, with noFor over 10 years now, there has been considerable interest in the use of deuterium (2H) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) 1 as a tool for probing the static and dynamic structures of cell membranes (Oldfield et al., 1972, 1981; Mantsch et al., 1977, Seelig, 1977). Early studies were hampered by a number of factors, the primary one being the use of low-field NMR instrumentation. As a result, continuous-wave mea-surements were of very low sensitivity, whilst the Fourier transforms of truncated free-induction decays following single pulses gave gross distortions, dueto the long spectrometer recovery times at low field. Thislatter problem was overcome by Davis et al.(1976), who used a resonant two-pulse sequence, 90-t-9090o, to form a so-called “quadrupole echo”, thereby effectively eliminating the problem of receiver overload after a pulse.
