Abstract

The new fluorescent lipophilic moiety 11-[(7-amino-4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyran-3-acetyl)amino]undecanoic acid (AMCA-omegaAud-OH) was introduced by SPPS at the N-terminus of the immunodominant epitope GpMBP(74-85). FRET experiments using the new fluorescent lipopeptide demonstrate that the peptide interacts with much more affinity with the membrane compared to the lipid free analogue.
