Journal ArticleDOI
A calorimetric and fluorescent probe study of the gel-liquid crystalline phase transition in small, single-lamellar dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles.
TL;DR: An experimentally testable thermodynamic and kinetic model based upon the results of a calorimetric and fluorescent probe study of the thermotropic behavior of various types of dispersions of dipalmitolphosphatidylcholine bilayer vesicles is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Membrane “fluidity” as detected by diphenylhexatriene probes
TL;DR: In this article, the properties and uses of one class of popular membrane "fluidity probe" namely molecules containing the fluorophore 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of fluorescent probes to monitor molecular order and motions within liposome bilayers
TL;DR: This article reviews the use of fluorescent probes to monitor the order and dynamics within the acyl chain region of liposome lipid bilayers and the non-linear probes considered include the anthroyloxyl fatty acids and the recently introduced fluorenyl fatty acid probes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure of platelet membrane phosphatidylserine regulates blood coagulation.
TL;DR: An alternative view is suggested that PS molecules bind to discrete regulatory sites on both factors X( a) and V(a) and allosterically alter their proteolytic and cofactor activities and suggests a key role for PS both in normal hemostasis and in thrombotic disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cholesterol-phosphatidylcholine interactions in multilamellar vesicles
TL;DR: The proposed phase diagram provides an explanation for several conflicting literature proposals of stoichiometries for phosphatidylcholine-cholesterol complexes in membranes, and correspond to the boundaries of two-phase areas in the gel region of the phase diagram.
