Photoswitchable phospholipid FRET acceptor: Detergent free intermembrane transfer assay of fluorescent lipid analogs

Abstract We have developed and characterized a novel photoswitchable phospholipid analog termed N-nitroBIPS-DPPG. The fluorescence can be switched on and off repeatedly with minimal photobleaching by UV or visible light exposure, respectively. The rather large photochromic head group is inserted dee...
