Biological Activity
Flipper-TR 5 exhibits ground-state planarization-dependent fluorescence and spectral shifts in solution and lipid bilayer membranes, with increasing red shifts, fluorescence intensity, and vibrational finestructure in increasingly ordered membranes[1].
Flipper-TR 5 shows longer fluorescence lifetimes in more ordered Lo lipid bilayer membranes compared to Ld membranes in GUVs, with non-selective partitioning but phase-dependent fluorescence intensity[1].
Flipper-TR 5 reports on membrane tension and organization in living cells, with fluorescence lifetimes that shift in response to hyperosmotic stress in plasma membranes, ER, and Golgi apparatus, and baseline lifetime differences driven by membrane order[1].
