High-field W-band (95 GHz) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study of partitioning of a small nitroxide TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-l-piperidinyloxy) in multilamellar liposomes composed from 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) is described. The high-resolution spectra with a high signal-to-noise ratio were combined with automated least-squares simulation analysis to derive accurate partitioning coefficients of TEMPO in the membrane lipid phase and to follow the membrane phase transitions. The isotropic magnetic parameters, g ;. and Ai,o, were used to characterize the average polarity the spin label is experiencing in the membrane. We also report an empirical correlation between gisp and A 1 , o for a set of protic and aprotic solvents and use this correlation to assign domains formed by interdigitation of DPPC bilayer under a high ethanol concentration of 1.2 M.
