High resolution 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra at 145.7 MHZ are presented for intact yeast cells. Several peaks are resolved and assigned. They include the middle phosphate peaks from long chain or cyclic polyphosphates. Our results are consistent with the suggestion that these polyphosphates act as a phosphate store in the cell. We have also been able to measure cytoplasmic pH using the orthophosphate peak inside the cell, as compared with outside the cell. The results show that yeast cells maintain their cytoplasmic pH around 6.3. This value is considerably higher than the acidic extracellular pH at which they normally live. These preliminary results indicate that 31P NMR at 145.7 MHZ can be a rapid, informative, and non-invasive method for probing biochemical events within living cells.
给出了完整酵母细胞在145.7兆赫兹下的高分辨率31P核磁共振(NMR)谱。分辨并确定了几个峰。它们包括长链或环状多磷酸盐的中间磷酸盐峰。我们的结果与这些多磷酸盐在细胞中作为磷酸盐储存库的观点一致。与细胞外相比,我们还能够利用细胞内的正磷酸盐峰来测量细胞质pH值。结果表明,酵母细胞将其细胞质pH值维持在6.3左右。该值远高于它们正常生存的酸性细胞外pH值。这些初步结果表明,145.7兆赫兹的31P NMR可以成为一种用于探测活细胞内生化事件的快速、信息丰富且非侵入性的方法。
