Abstract

The distribution, orientation, and dynamics of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) fluorescence probes in a dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayer were studied using 50 ns molecular dynamics. The results indicated that DPH did not prefer to be embedded in the membrane center where free volume was largest.
