Resonance energy transfer in membrane systems. III. Planar acceptor distribution in two monolayers
Abstract
The model of resonance energy transfer in membranes is extended to the case where the donors and acceptors are randomly distributed over three parallel planes (two acceptor ones and a donor one). The model allows for the orientational behavior of chromophores in the membrane and permits expressing the average orientation factor for a given donor-acceptor pair via steady-state and fundamental anisotropies of the chromophores in corresponding environment. Criteria for the optimal choice of donor-acceptor pairs providing maximum accuracy of estimation of the donor plane position in the membrane are given.
