For canonical lipid raft mixtures of cholesterol (chol), N-palmitoylsphingomyelin (PSM), and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoylphosphatidylcholine (POPC), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of spin-labeled phospholipids-which is insensitive to domain size-is used to determine the ternary phase diagram at 23 degrees C. No phase boundaries are found for binary POPC/chol mixtures, nor for ternary mixtures with PSM content = 77 mol % PSM. For PSM/chol, L-beta-L-o coexistence occurs over the range 10-38 mol % chol and further tie lines are found at 4.5 and 7 mol% POPC. Two-component EPR spectra indicative of fluid-fluid (L-alpha-L-o) phase separation are found for lipid compositions: 25%
