Pyrene-Labelled Lipids as Fluorescent Probes in Studies on Biomembranes and Membrane Models

  • Chapter
Fluorescence Spectroscopy

Abstract

The immense progress in the understanding of the functions of proteins and nucleic acids in living cells is still contrasted by the limited comprehension of the significance of lipids and their structural diversity in the self-assembly and functionalization of biological membranes. Nevertheless, taking into account the costly maintenance of the specific tissue, cell, and cell organelle lipid compositions and their alterations it is obvious that the individual lipid classes do serve more important roles than what is at present commonly accepted [1].
