摘要: Solvent relaxation (SR) in 1,2-dioleoyl-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) unilamellar vesicles of different size was probed by 6-hexadecanoyl-2-(((2-(trimethylammonium)ethyl)methyl)amino)naphthalene chloride (Patman), 6-propionyl-2-dimethylaminonaphthalene (Prodan) and 4-[(n-dodecylthio)methyl]-7-(N,N-dimethylamino)-coumarin (DTMAC). Patman probes the amount mobility bound water molecules located at carbonyl region bilayer. Membrane curvature significantly accelerates solvent process, but does not influence total Stokes shift, showing that membrane increases mobility, without affecting present headgroup region. This pattern also verified for other phosphatidylcholines. Prodan is phosphate bilayer a more polar, mobile heterogeneous environment than Patman. The on SR similar, however, less pronounced compared to DTMAC (first time used SR) shows broad distribution locations along z-axis. A substantial coumarin chromophores face bulk water. No effect detectable.
