Behavior of pyrene as a polarity probe in palmitoylsphingomyelin and palmitoylsphingomyelin/cholesterol bilayers: A molecular dynamics simulation study

Pyrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon noted for its remarkable optical spectroscopic properties. Among its uses as a fluorescent probe, measurement of lipid bilayer's equivalent polarity through the pyrene Ham effect stands out. To this effect, the ratio of the intensities of the first an...
