Orientation of Laurdan in Phospholipid Bilayers Influences Its Fluorescence: Quantum Mechanics and Classical Molecular Dynamics Study †

Fluidity of lipid membranes is known to play an important role in the functioning of living organisms. The fluorescent probe Laurdan embedded in a lipid membrane is typically used to assess the fluidity state of lipid bilayers by utilizing the sensitivity of Laurdan emission to the properties of its...
