Abstract
The absolute value of the viscosity in membrane lipid bilayers, which is different from the microviscosity advocated by Shinitzky, could be calculated from steady-state fluorescence depolarization of a hydrocarbon fluorophore, 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexaThis publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
