Angle resolved fluorescence depolarisation of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5 hexatriene (DPH) in unsaturated digalactosyl diacylglycerol (DGDG) lipid bilayers. 1984

M van de Ven, and G van Ginkel, and Y K Levine

The orientational ordering and dynamics of DPH molecules embedded in macroscopically ordered bilayers of the unsaturated galactolipid digalactosyl diacylglycerol (DGDG) were studied by angle-resolved fluorescence depolarisation at room temperature. The depolarisation ratios exhibited a weaker angular dependence than those observed for DPH incorporated in multi-bilayers of saturated lecithins above their phase transition. The results reflect the differences in the modes of reorientational motion of the DPH molecules in these systems while a similar orientational order is found. It is suggested that DPH molecules in bilayers of DGDG cannot be considered to possess an effective cylindrical symmetry in contrast to DPH in bilayers of saturated lecithins.

D010944 Plants Multicellular, eukaryotic life forms of kingdom Plantae. Plants acquired chloroplasts by direct endosymbiosis of CYANOBACTERIA. They are characterized by a mainly photosynthetic mode of nutrition; essentially unlimited growth at localized regions of cell divisions (MERISTEMS); cellulose within cells providing rigidity; the absence of organs of locomotion; absence of nervous and sensory systems; and an alternation of haploid and diploid generations. It is a non-taxonomical term most often referring to LAND PLANTS. In broad sense it includes RHODOPHYTA and GLAUCOPHYTA along with VIRIDIPLANTAE. Plant
