ESR spectral analysis of the molecular motion of spin labels in lipid bilayers and membranes based on a model in terms of two angular motional parameters and rotational correlation times
Abstract
Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectral line shapes are calculated for a nitroxide spin-labeled molecule undergoing rapid restricted rotations (twisting) about its long molecular axis while simultaneously tumbling within a cone. Explicit expressions are derived for the hyperfine splittings and g-values, as well as for the secular contributions to the motionally modulated linewidths. The present model is useful for analyzing the restricted twisting and tumbling motions, and rotational correlation times, of spin-labeled molecules in bilayers. Simulated spectra compare well with experimental spectra of lecithin bilayers marked with cholestane spin label, over a wide temperature range.
