Abstract:The lipid membrane is a fundamental part of life. However, the effects of different stresses on membranal integrity and physiology are less understood. Using novel 4-aminophthalimide-based membrane-specific dyes (4AP-Cn: n is carbon chain-length), aided with confocal microscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, molecular dynamics simulations, and flow cytometry, we have studied stress-mediated changes in E. coli membranes. By exploiting the depth-dependent positioning and subsequent environmental sensitivity of the … Show more
