Revised Manuscript Received June 11, 1993 abstract: Cholesteryl esters are a major lipid constitutent of plasma lipoproteins and atherosclerotic lesions. Crystalline and liquid crystalline phases of several cholesteryl esters [oleate (C18: l,-9), erucate (C22: l,-9), hexanoate (C6: 0), decanoate (C10: 0), undecanoate (C11: 0), myristate (C14: 0), palmitate (C 16: 0), and stearate (C 18: 0)] have been studied by natural abundance 13C NMR with magic angle spinning (MASNMR) at 75 MHz (7.05 T). Spectra obtained with magic angle spinning, high-power proton decoupling, and cross-polarization transfer were highly resolved for crystalline cholesteryl esters. Acyl chain carbons had narrower lines than protonated steroidring carbons, reflecting differential motions in the crystal (specifically, more rapid motions in the acyl chain than in the steroid ring). Esters which crystallize into the monolayer type II structure, in which all molecules are equivalent, gave rise to a single resonance for each carbon; esters of the monolayer type I and bilayer structures, in which there are two types of nonequivalent molecules in the unit cell, had two resonances(equal intensity and linewidth) for several carbons, such as the carbonyl and the steroid ring C5 and C6. Spectra for liquid crystalline phases did not show inequivalence of signals for the same carbon and were not enhanced by cross-polarization transfer. These changes are a result of increased molecular motions in the liquid crystals, which average the nonequivalent environments and reduce the dipolar interactions. Cholesteric and smectic liquid crystalline phases were distinguished by the broader C= 0, C5, and C6 signals for the cholesteric compared with the smectic phase. In the smectic phase, chemical shifts of corresponding carbons of allcholesteryl esters are similar and are close to those for crystalline esters with a monolayer II structure, which suggests that the smectic phasehas structural features resembling the monolayer II crystal structure. 13C MASNMR is thus a powerful approach for examining structureand motions of crystalline and liquid-crystalline cholesteryl esters.* H MASNMR spectra did not give as detailed information on the molecular level but were unique for each phase and provided a simple and quick method for distinguishing the solid, smectic, cholesteric, and isotropic phases.Cholesteryl esters serve as a transport and storage form of cholesterol in mammals (Brown & Goldstein, 1986; Jones & Glomset, 1985). They also constitute a major fraction of the lipids present in atherosclerotic plaques (Small, 1988). Because they are weakly polar molecules, cholesteryl esters have a very low solubility in phospholipid interfaces (Gorrissen et al., 1980; Hamilton et al., 1982, 1983) and form separate phases, which can consist of pure or nearly pure cholesteryl esters. A thorough understanding of the aggregation properties of pure cholesteryl esters in various physical states is therefore important in both normal and pathophysiology. The polymorphism and mesomorphism of cholesteryl esters have been extensively studied by different physical methods such as differential scanning calorimetry (Davis et al., 1970), X-ray diffraction (Craven, 1986; Gao & Craven, 1986), electron diffraction (Dorset, 1985), polarizing microscopy (Gray, 1962), and nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) 1 spectroscopy (Hamilton et al., 1977; Kroon, 1981; Ginsburg et al., 1982; Croll et al., 1985, 1986). Although microscopy and calorimetry are informative and convenient methods for the study of phase transition behavior, they usually provide
