Abstract:
:The lateral diffusion coefficient of fluorescent lipid analogues incorporated in four cubic phases of lipid-water systems was determined by the modulated fringe pattern photobleaching technique. In two of the phases, Q230 and Q224, whose structure is bicontinuous, the diffusion is almost as fast as in the fluid lipid bilayers, and is essentially independent of the chemical nature of the probe. In the other two phases, whose structure consists of disjointed hydrocarbon micelles embedded in a water matrix (phase Q223, type I) and of water-containing micelles embedded in a hydrocarbon matrix (phase Q227, type II), the diffusion coefficient is strongly dependent on the chemical structure of the probe and on the topological type (I or II) of the structure. The conclusion is drawn that in the micellar phases the apparent diffusion mirrors the ability of the probe to hop from micelle to micelle.
