I. Hamachi et al., ENERGY-TRANSFER FROM ZINC-MYOGLOBIN TO A CYANINE DYE FACILITATED BY THEIR SIMULTANEOUS BINDING TO A PHOSPHATE BILAYER-MEMBRANE, Chemistry Letters, (9), 1993, pp. 1551-1554
Zinc-substituted myoglobin (Zn-Mb) and a cationic cyanine dye were bou
nd simultaneously to an aqueous dispersion or a cast film of a phospha
te bilayer membrane. The energy transfer from Zn-Mb to the cyanine was
more efficient in the cast film than in aqueous dispersion.
