Optical Spectroscopy of Monolayers, Multilayer Assemblies, and Single Model Membranes

  • Chapter
Membrane Spectroscopy

Part of the book series: Molecular Biology Biochemistry and Biophysics ((MOLECULAR,volume 31))

Abstract

During the past few years considerable advances in the knowledge of membrane structure have been made. Undoubtedly, spectroscopic probes — dyes in particular — have greatly contributed to that progress. The success of the probe approach depends on the ability to introduce the probe into a selected region of the membrane and to observe interpretable signals from it.
