Computational modeling reveals the influence of lipid membrane phases on fluorescent probes' optical properties (Research)

Organic fluorophores embedded in lipid bilayers can nowadays be described by a multiscale computational approach. We developed over the years a methodology to characterize probes in view of their different positions, orientations, conformational versatilities, and (non) linear optical as well as fluorescence properties when they are embedded in model membranes. Combining different length and time scales, a full description of the probe led to novel insight into the effect of the environments.
