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

Chem Phys Lipids. 2005 Feb;133(2):215-23. doi: 10.1016/j.chemphyslip.2004.10.005. Epub 2004 Dec 8.

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.
