Characterization of the Lateral Distribution of Fluorescent Lipid in Binary-Constituent Lipid Monolayers by Principal Component Analysis
Figure 1
Experimental set-up and structures of lipids investigated. Upper panel depicts a Langmuir surface balance modified to acquire fluorescence emission spectra of lipids forming a monolayer at the air/water interface. γ 0 = surface tension of gas/water interface; γ = surface tension of gas/water interface covered by lipid; (γ 0-γ) = surface pressure. Lower panel shows the structures of the lipids studied. The following color scheme applies: gray = carbon, red = oxygen, blue = nitrogen, orange = phosphorus, pink = boron, aqua = fluorine. Arrows pointing left indicate cis double bonds and arrows pointing right equal trans double bonds.
