Multilayer membraoes of l,MipaImitoyl-sn-glycer+~phorylchorylcho~~ were prepared in D,Q and exposed to y-radiation. Changa in the chemical structure due to irradiation were studied by 'H, "C and "P NMR after lyophilization and dissolution in chloroform-methanol (1 : 2, vjv). Qne-and two-dimensional techniques were used. l-Palmitoyl-sn-glycei+~pb~pbo~~choline, 2-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-pbosphorylcboli, glycer+lphos-phorylcholiw and palmitic acid were identified as new componen&. Their development during irradiation was quantitatively determined. The results were discussed in terms of possible reaction steps responsible for the radiolytic decomposition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
