Abstract excerpt
This article presents a new formalism to perform a quantitative fluorescence analysis using the Stokes shift of AEDANS-labeled cysteine mutants of M13 major coat protein incorporated in lipid bilayers. This site-directed fluorescence spectroscopy approach enables us to obtain the topology of the bilayer-embedded transmembrane alpha-helix from the orientation and tilt angles, and relative bilayer location. Both in...
