Probing the influence of cis–trans isomers on model lipid membrane fluidity using cis-parinaric acid and a stop-flow technique

Abstract

Stop-flow experiments exploiting the fluorescence of cis-parinaric acid in monounsaturated lipid vesicles allow the model membrane behaviour, notably the membrane fluidity, to be correlated to the cistrans lipid ratios
