Abstract:

Epifluorescence microscopy was used to study the structure and phase behavior of phospholipid films containing a human-sequence monomeric SP-B(1-25) synthetic peptide (mSP-B(1-25)). Measurements were done directly at the air-water (A/W) interface on films in a Langmuir-Whilhelmy balance coupled to a fluorescence microscope and real-time detection system to yield an approximate optical resolution of 1 mum. Fluorescence was achieved by laser excitation of 2-(4,4-difluoro-5,7-dimethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene-3-dodecanoyl)-1-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC (BODIPY-PC, concentration
