Rotational and translational mobilities in phospholipid monolayers at the air/water interface

Fluorescence emission of dansylphosphatidylethanolamine embedded in dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine monolayers is depolarized whatever the molecular packing of the host matrix. This observation confirms our results on translational diffusion and structural analysis of monolayers. These properties of...

Summary:Fluorescence emission of dansylphosphatidylethanolamine embedded in dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine monolayers is depolarized whatever the molecular packing of the host matrix. This observation confirms our results on translational diffusion and structural analysis of monolayers. These properties of monolayers can be explained by the existence of large orientational fluctuations in the hydrocarbon core.
