Possible Molecular Mechanism to Account for Wavelength Dependence of Equilibration Rates of Patman and Laurdan in Phosphatidylcholine Bilayers

Possible Molecular Mechanism to Account for Wavelength Dependence of Equilibration Rates of Patman and Laurdan in Phosphatidylcholine Bilayers

Patman is a fluorescent membrane probe related to Laurdan. The structural distinctions between the two probes are the lengths of the aliphatic tails (eleven carbons in Laurdan and fifteen in Patman) and the presence of a trimethylammonium group on Patman that produces a positively-charged head. Prel...
