Area of Science:

  • Computational chemistry
  • Biophysics
  • Materials science

Background:

  • 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) derivatives are widely used molecular probes.
  • Understanding lipid bilayer phases is crucial in cell biology and drug delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate novel DPH derivatives as potential probes for lipid bilayer membrane phases.
  • To explore the photophysical properties of these derivatives in different membrane environments.

Main Methods:

  • Multiscale computational approach combining spin-flip time-dependent density functional theory (SF-TDDFT).
  • Classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.
  • Hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations.

Main Results:

  • Identified a DPH derivative that preferentially detects liquid-ordered (LO) membrane regions.
  • This probe exhibits restricted access to a conical intersection in the LO phase, unlike in less ordered environments.
  • The probe's characteristics suggest potential as an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorophore.

Conclusions:

  • The studied DPH derivative is a promising candidate for probing membrane phase behavior, particularly distinguishing LO regions.
  • The probe's unique photophysical response in different membrane environments warrants further investigation.
  • Potential application as an AIE fluorophore opens new avenues for sensing and imaging.
