Title: Study of interaction of long-chain n-alcohols with fluid DOPC bilayers by a lateral pressure sensitive fluorescence probe
Author: Tatiana N. Murugova, Mária Klacsová, Petra Pullmannová, Janka Karlovská, Pavol Balgavý

Abstract: Abstract. The excimer 1,2-dipyrenedecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (dipy10PC) fluorescence probe was used to determine effects of aliphatic alcohols (CnH2n+1OH, n = 12–18 is the even number of carbons in alkyl chain) on fluid dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) + dioleoylphosphatidylserine (DOPS) bilayers in multilamellar vesicles at molar ratio DOPC/DOPS = 24.7. The excimer to monomer fluorescence intensity ratio increases with the increase of CnH2n+1OH/DOPC molar ratio and decreases with the CnH2n+1OH alkyl chain length n at a constant CnH2n+1OH/DOPC = 0.4 molar ratio. These effects indicate changes in the bilayer lateral pressure on the level of pyrenyl moieties location.
