Abstract

The effect of negatively charged phospholipid cardiolipin (CL) on the structural state of phosphatidylcholine (PC) model membranes was studied using fluorescent probes 4-(n-dimethylaminostyryl)-1-methylpyridinium (DSM) and 3 methoxybenzanthrone (MBA). Electrostatic and non-electrostatic contributions to the stabilization of DSM-lipid complexes were evaluated. MBA bilayer distribution was found to change on increasing CL content from 5 to 10 mol % suggesting that incorporation of small amounts of CL into PC bilayer is followed by pronounced modification of the membrane structure
