Biochim Biophys Acta. 1995 Jul 6;1237(1):37-42
Authors: Lau B, Macdonald PM
Deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance (2H-NMR) spectroscopy was applied to determine the pKa of the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, N,N-dimethylsphingosine (DMS), when bound to lipid bilayers composed of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC). The quadrupolar splittings from the deuterium labels at the alpha- and the beta-choline positions of the headgroup of POPC responded to the presence of DMS in a manner indicative of an accumulation of cationic charges near the surface plane occupied by the phospholipid phosphate group. Both quadrupolar splittings varied linearly with the amount of added DMS at pH 7.0. Conversely, at pH 10.0 DMS had virtually no influence on either quadrupole splitting, an effect attributed to titration of the dimethyl amino group of DMS to its neutral form. A DMS titration curve was obtained by quantifying the change in the quadrupolar splittings as a function of pH. The pKa of membrane-bound DMS was extracted from this 2H-NMR data by simulating the quadrupole splitting-titration curve for different values of the pKa, yielding a pKa of 8.8 after non-linear least squares fitting.

Structure determination of proteins in 2H2O solution aided by a deuterium-decoupled 3
Abstract We developed an NMR pulse sequence, 3D HCA(N)CO, to correlate the chemical shifts of protein backbone 1Hα and 13Cα to those of 13C� in the preceding residue. By applying 2H decoupling, the experiment was accomplished with high sensitivity comparable to that of HCA(CO)N. When combined with HCACO, HCAN and HCA(CO)N, the HCA(N)CO sequence allows the sequential assignment using backbone 13C� and amide 15N chemical shifts without resort to backbone amide protons. This assignment strategy was demonstrated for 13C/15N-labeled GB1 dissolved in 2H2O. The quality of the GB1 structure...
