摘要 |
Fluorescence probes are described comprising coronene fluorophores chemically attached to lipids or membrane-mimetic molecules via hydrocarbon spacers of defined length. Also described is a method for determining lipid packing and dynamics in membranes, a method for estimating hydrodynamic properties of macromolecules and macromolecular complexes, and a method for measuring changes in Ca+2 concentrations in or near membranes.
