Abstract
The synthesis of a perdeuterated phospholipid — 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine-d72 (DMPC-d72) — is described. Ordinary (protonated) DMPC was prepared by the same synthetic route and its properties were found to be the same as those of commercial DMPC. The uses of partially deuterated and perdeuterated phospholipids in NMR studies are discussed.
