Abstract:
:This article reviews the use of fluorescent lipids and free probes in the studies of lipid regular distribution in model membranes. The first part of this article summarizes the evidence and physical properties for lipid regular distribution in pyrene-labeled phosphatidylcholine (PC)/unlabeled PC binary mixtures as revealed by the fluorescence of pyrene-labeled PC. The original and the extended hexagonal superlattice model are discussed. The second part focuses on the fluorescence studies of sterol regular distributions in membranes. The experimental evidence for sterol superlattice formation obtained from the fluorescent sterol (i.e. dehydroergosterol) and non-sterol fluorescent probes (e.g. DPH and Laurdan) are evaluated. Prospects and concerns are given with regard to the sterol regular distribution. The third part deals briefly with the evidence for polar headgroup superlattices. The emphasis of this article is placed on the new concept that membrane properties and activities, including the activities of surface acting enzymes, drug partitioning, and membrane free volume, are fine-tuned by minute changes in the concentration of bulky lipids (e.g. sterols and pyrene-containing acyl chains) in the vicinities of the critical mole fractions for superlattice formation.
