Abstract
We have investigated the time-resolved fluorescence of diphenylhexatriene (DPH) covalently linked to phosphatidylcholine (PC) in palmitoyloleoylglycerophosphocholine (POPC) vesicles with special consideration of the comparison of two methods for distributional lifetime analysis: the exponential-series method (ESM) and the maximum-entropy method (MEM). Generally, both methods were found to reveal equivalent results on high-quality data. Different are the shapes of the recovered distributions (symmetry and width) as well as the time effort for the numerical analysis.
