16:0-18:0 (11-12BR) PC (1-palmitoyl-2-(11,12-dibromo) stearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) may be used:
in phospholipid vesicle preparation for tryptophan (Trp) penetration depth experiments
to determine the bromination effect at different positions along the fatty acid chains
for quenching of human heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) tryptophan (Trp) fluorescence
General Description
16:0-18:0 (11-12BR) PC (1-palmitoyl-2-(11,12-dibromo) stearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) consists of brominated stearoyl chains. This brominated-PC lipid is non-hygroscopic and has a stability of 1 year.
Biochem/physiol Actions
16:0-18:0 (11-12BR) PC (1-palmitoyl-2-(11,12-dibromo) stearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) can be used to prepare large unilamellar vesicles.
