Michael E. Johnson,* Lana Lee, and Leslie W.-M. Fung* abstract: Model systems of cholestane and 5-doxylstearic acid analogue spin probes in lipid bilayer dispersions of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine and cholesterol (9: 1 w/w) are used to analyzesaturation transfer electron paramagnetic resonance spectral behavior for slow rotational diffusion in an anisotropic medium. Measurements are made at both 9 and 35 GHz to provide enhanced spectral resolution for different types of motion. Parameter correlation plots of spectral pa-rameters from different regions of the saturation transfer spectra appear to be potentially useful in characterizing dif-ferent types of motion. Anisotropic rotational diffusion about a symmetry axis coincident with the nitroxide y principal axis is clearly distinguishable from isotropic rotational diffusion and may be distinguishable from rotational diffusion about the nitroxide z principal axis. Approximate anisotropic ro-tational diffusion about a symmetry axis coincident with the nitroxide z principal axis is distinguishable from isotropic rotational diffusion under some, but not all, conditions. e application of spin-label rapid passage saturation transfer electron paramagnetic resonance(ST-EPR) 1 methods to the study of various membrane systems has shown a substantial increase over the last few years. Recent applications include the use of several spin probes to study motional behavior within the hydrocarbon region of model (Delmelle et al., 1980; Marsh, 1980; Marsh & Watts, 1980; Watts & Marsh, 1981) and erythrocyte (Swift et al., 1980; Fung, 1981) membranes, studies of rhodopsin in the visual receptor membrane (Kusumi et al., 1978, 1980; Baroin et al., 1979; Favre et al., 1979; Davoust et al., 1980), studies of the sarcoplasmic reticular ATPase (Kirino et al., 1978; Hidalgo et al., 1978; Thomas & Hidalgo, 1978), studies of the spectrin-membrane interaction in erythrocyte membranes (Fung et al., 1979; Lemaigre-Dubreuil et al., 1980; Fung, 1981), and studies of reconstituted cytochrome c oxidase (Swanson et al., 1980). Several of these and other applications are discussed in recent reviews (Hyde, 1978; Hyde & Dalton, 1979; Hyde & Thomas, 1980). For many of these applications the ST-EPR spectral be-havior suggests the existence of anisotropic motion, but analysis of such motion has been quite limited due to the lack of a detailed understanding of the effects of anisotropic motion upon ST-EPR spectral behavior. Anisotropic rotational dif-fusion can result from two different physical mechanisms:(a) a highly asymmetric molecule undergoing rotational diffusion in an isotropic medium and (b) a molecule (of arbitrary shape) undergoing rotational diffusion in an anisotropic medium which exhibits an orientational restoring potential. Each of these major diffusional mechanisms can also be further subdivided into diffusional processes depending on the relative sizes of solute and solvent molecules. These subdivisions include Brownian reorientation of a large molecule in a low molecular weight solvent, strong jump reorientation of a small molecule
