Synthesis and preliminary physical applications of a rhodamin-biotin phosphatidylethanolamine, an easy attainable lipid double probe.

ABSTRACT

In route to a physical study aimed at understanding lipids and proteins sorting in cells, we designed a rhodamin-labelled biotinylated phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), as a useful and easy-attainable lipid double probe. The target compound was successfully engaged in preliminary physical experiments.
