Profiling of dynamics in protein-lipid-water systems: a time-resolved fluorescence study of a model membrane protein with the label BADAN at specific membrane depths.

Profiling of dynamics in protein-lipid-water systems: a time-resolved fluorescence study of a model membrane protein with the label BADAN at specific membrane depths.

Profiles of lipid-water bilayer dynamics have been decided from picosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectra of membrane-embedded BADAN-labeled M13 coat protein. For this function, the protein was labeled at seven key positions. This locations the label at well-defined places from the water part to the middle of the hydrophobic acyl chain area of a phospholipid model membrane, offering…
