We have monitored the organization and dynamics of the hemolytic peptide melittin in
membranes containing cholesterol by utilizing the intrinsic fluorescence properties of its …

Dynamics of confined water has interesting implications in the organization and function of
molecular assemblies such as membranes. A direct consequence of this type of …

We have monitored the membrane-bound channel and nonchannel conformations of
gramicidin utilizing red-edge excitation shift (REES), and related fluorescence parameters …

Chaotropes such as urea perturb the organization of molecular assemblies formed by the
hydrophobic effect. We have monitored the change in the organization and dynamics of …

We have investigated the organization and dynamics of the functionally important tryptophan
residues of erythroid spectrin in native and denatured conditions utilizing the wavelength …

Electrostatic interactions play a crucial role in modulating and stabilizing molecular
interactions in membranes and membrane-mimetic systems such as micelles. We have …

We have monitored the environment and dynamics of the membrane interface formed by the
ester-linked phospholipid 1, 2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and the …

Biological membranes display considerable anisotropy due to differences in composition,
physical characteristics, and packing of membrane components. In this Letter, we have …

In diabetes, human serum albumin (HSA) is an example of non-enzymatic glycation of
proteins produced by hyperglycemia. According to common knowledge, glycation …

We report here depth-dependent solvent relaxation effects in the reverse micellar assembly
using the deeply embedded probe NBD-cholesterol, a fluorescent cholesterol analogue in …
