An experimental and quantum-chemical (INDO, TDDFT) study of the laurdan molecule has been performed. Stable geometrical structures of laurdan corresponding to the global energy minimum and local energy minima in the ground state and excited state of the molecule have been determined. The rate constants of photophysical processes of stable conformations of the probe are estimated and the contributions of each structure to the fluorescence spectrum of the molecule have been determined.
