Neutral fluorescence probe with strong ratiometric response to surface charge of phospholipid membranes

Açıklama

We report on dramatic differences in fluorescence spectra of 4'-dimethylamino-3-hydroxyflavone (probe F) studied in phospholipid membranes of different charge (phosphatidyl glycerol, phosphatidylcholine (PC), their mixture and the mixture of PC with a cationic lipid). The effect consists in variations of relative intensities at two well-separated band maxima at 520 and 570 nm belonging to normal (N*) and tautomer (T*) excited states of flavone chromophore. Based on these studies we propose a new approach to measure electrostatic potential at the surface layer of phospholipid membranes, which is based on potential-dependent changes of bilayer hydration and involves very sensitive and convenient ratiometric measurements in fluorescence emission.
