Abstract
The kinetics of the main phase transition in dipalmytoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) vesicles have been investigated using our iodine laser-T-jump technique with fluorescence detection. A set of three fluorescent probes has been used to sense different parts of the bilayer hydrocarbon chain region. The well established membrane probes DPH and TMADPH as well as DPHPC, a labelled DPPC molecule. We report three relaxation signals in the microseconds and ms time range, which are detected with all three probes. This result supports our model of the main phase transition in DPPC vesicles.Entities:
