Measuring the Viscosity of the Escherichia coli Plasma Membrane Using Molecular Rotors

The viscosity is a highly important parameter within the cell membrane, affecting the diffusion of small molecules and, hence, controlling the rates of intracellular reactions. There is significant interest in the direct, quantitative assessment of membrane viscosity. Here we report the use of fluor...
