Disperse Orange 3 as a resonance Raman probe for measuring membrane order
نویسندگان
چکیده
Resonance Raman spectra of azobenzene derivatives were examined in the presence of lipid membranes to find a probe that can distinguish different membrane phases. The NO2 symmetric stretching band of 4-(4-nitrophenylazo)aniline, also known as Disperse Orange 3 (DO3), is downshifted by about 4 cm(-1) on the phase transition of phosphatidylcholine membranes from the liquid crystalline to the gel phase. A comparable downshift also occurs when DO3 is bound to cholesterol-containing membranes in the liquid-ordered phase. Our results demonstrate that Raman spectrum of DO3 is a unique tool for measuring the molecular order of lipids in membranes.

The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sodium salt was reacted with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMA) to obtain DNA-CTMA organic-solvent soluble complex. The DNA-CTMA was then mixed with three organic dyes such as Nile Blue A (NB), Disperse Red 1 (DR1) and Disperse Orange 3 (DO3) resulting in colored membranes, that were characterized by UV-Vis, FTIR, X-ray, ionic conductivity and fluorescence...

BACKGROUND Simultaneous contact allergies to Disperse Orange 1, 4-nitroaniline and p-aminodiphenylamine (PADPA), as well as to other disperse azo dyes and to p-phenylenediamine (PPD), have been reported. Cross-reactivity is one of the possible explanations for simultaneous reactions between PPD and disperse azo dyes. Some metabolites from the azo reduction of these disperse azo dyes could be se...
متن کاملDependence of the Second-order G0-band pro le on the electronic structure of Single-wall nanotubes
We analyze the dependence of the second-order G0-band pro le on their (n;m) indices by measuring the resonance Raman spectra of several semiconducting and metallic isolated tubes. We show that this pro le is very sensitive to the electronic structure, thus making it possible to get structural (n;m) information and to probe the splitting of the van Hove singularities in the electronic density of...
