The hydrated ternary lamellar lipid mixture of dipalmitoyl-PC/dilauroyl-PC/cholesterol (DPPC/DLPC/Chol) has been studied by electron spin resonance (ESR) to reveal the dynamic structure on a molecular level of the different phases that exist and coexist over virtually the full range of composition. The spectra for more than 100 different compositions at room temperature were analyzed by nonlinear least-squares fitting to provide the rotational diffusion rates and order parameters of the end-chain labeled phospholipid 16-PC. The ESR spectra exhibit substantial variation as a function of composition, even though the respective phases generally differ rather modestly from each other. The Lalpha and Lbeta phases are clearly distinguished, with the former exhibiting substantially lower ordering and greater motional rates, whereas the well-defined Lo phase exhibits the greatest ordering and relatively fast motional rates. Typically, smaller variations occur within a given phase. The ESR spectral analysis also yields phase boundaries and coexistence regions which are found to be consistent with previous results from fluorescence methods, although new features are found. Phase coexistence regions were in some cases confirmed by observing the existence of isosbestic points in the absorption mode ESR spectra from the phases. The dynamic structural properties of the DPPC-rich Lbeta and DLPC-rich Lalpha phases, within their two-phase coexistence region do not change with composition along a tie-line, but the ratio of the two phases follows the lever rule in accordance with thermodynamic principles. The analysis shows that 16-PC spin-label partitions nearly equally between the Lalpha and Lbeta phases, making it a useful probe for studying such coexisting phases. Extensive study of two-phase coexistence regions requires the determination of tie-lines, which were approximated in this study. However, a method is suggested to accurately determine the tie-lines by ESR.
