Abstract：
:To probe the motional and conformational properties of the choline head group of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-thiophosphocholine (DPPsC), the Rp, Sp, and Rp + Sp isomers of [alpha-D2]DPPsC, [beta-D2]DPPsC, and [delta-D9]DPPsC in the subgel, gel, and liquid crystalline phases were investigated with deuterium NMR, and the results were compared with those of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) labeled at the same positions. In the subgel phase (5 degrees C) all isomers of [alpha-D2]DPPsC and [beta-D2]DPPsC displayed amorphous line shapes characteristic of a restricted and disordered motional environment, whereas [delta-D9]DPPsC showed narrower and symmetric line shapes indicating substantial motions. For all three labeled positions the apparent line width of the Rp isomer is larger than those of Sp and Rp + Sp isomers, and the amorphous line shape of the Rp isomer also persists at 25 and 35 degrees C, which confirm the previous observation that the Rp isomer is unusually stable in the subgel phase and suggest that the Rp isomer is more rigid than the other isomers in the choline head group. In the gel phase (25 and 35 degrees C) narrower and symmetric line shapes were observed for Sp and Rp + Sp isomers, and the apparent line widths were comparable to those of DPPC. In the liquid crystalline phase there are dramatic differences between the spectra of DPPC and different isomers of DPPsC.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
