Abstract: The ion channel-forming peptide antibiotic zervamicin A was studied in egg phosphocholin lipid membranes of large multilamellar vesicles (LMV) at 77 K. Continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) methods combined with site-specific electron spin labeling were used to study the aggregation and immersion depth of two analog molecules, i.e., each monolabeled either at the N- or C-terminal end of the helical molecule. Analysis of the shape of the EPR spectra indicates that zervamicin molecules form aggregates in which the dipolar interaction between the spin labels at the N-terminus is substantially larger than that between the labels at the C-terminus. The ESEEM method was used to study the interaction between the nitroxide radical spin labels of the zervamicin molecules and deuterium nuclei in LMV, which were prepared using a D2O buffer. It is established that the largest amplitude of deuterium modulation of the unpaired electron is observed for zervamicin molecules labeled at the N-terminus. Based on the analysis of the Fourier parameters of the deuterium modulated spectrum, a model of the immersion depth of the terminal ends of the zervamicin molecule in a lipid bilayer is formulated. All of the spin labels at the N-terminus are grouped at the lipid–water interface, whereas 60% of labels at the C-terminus are located at the lipid–water interface and 40% are more deeply inserted into the lipid bilayer.
