Abstract: The interaction of trivalent lanthanide ions and divalent calcium ions with sph- ngomyelm bilayer has been studied by FT-Raman spectroscopy.The results showed that the bonding of metal ions to the phosphate group of sphingomyelin bi-iayer,either La3+or Ca2+did not change the conformation of the choline group,that is,O-C-C-N+ is still in its gauche conformation.The presence of metal ions changed the states of the interfacial region from liquid-like to amorphous state and even to crystalline.They increased the fluidity of acyl chains of sphingomyelin bilaver and made them packed disorderly.

Key words: Vibrational spectra, Lanthanide ions, Sphingomyelin bilayer
