  2. Rotational Diffusion Rate can be determined by Fluorescence Spectroscopy Fluorescence polarization (anisotropy) can measure how rapidly a molecule is tumbling in solution sample excitation light t1 t2 I I fluorescent light

  3. preferential excitation of molecules whose is parallel to the electric field vector of the excitation light Fluorescence anisotropy For polarized excitation light, the probability of absorption of a photon depends on cos2 Z q hu X Y After excitation non-random distribution Before (random)

  4. Fluorescence anisotropy After formation of the excited state, the molecule can rotate during the time prior to photon emission Z orientation upon absorption q rot hu orientation at the time of emission X Y

  5. z-component = x-component = y-component = Iz proportional to < cos2q > Average over population Ix proportional to < sin2q > < cos2w > IY proportional to < sin2q > < sin2w > Fluorescence polarization Z The probability of detecting the emitted photon depends on the orientation of the transition dipole moment of the excited state molecule AT THE TIME OF EMISSION and the orientation of the polarizer in the detection device q X IZ w Y IX probability of detecting the photon with polarization along the z-axis = ||2cos2q x-axis = (sinq cosw)2 y-axis = (sinq sinw)2

Membrane Fluidity monitored by the fluorescence Anisotropy of anthroyloxy fatty acid derivatives: the fluorophore is located at different depths in the membrane bilayer mutant wild-type mitochondrial membranes CONCLUDE: Decrease in unsaturation of the fatty acid components in the membrane results in increased anisoptropy, or increase in membrane viscosity Biological Consequence: decreased respiration and altered bioenergetics of the mitochondria Extracted lipids 2 18 depth in the membrane bilayer/position in fatty acid chain)
