Energy Transfer from Zinc-Myoglobin to a Cyanine Dye Facilitated by Their Simultaneous Binding to a Phosphate Bilayer Membrane
Zinc-substituted myoglobin (Zn-Mb) and a cationic cyanine dye were bound simultaneously to an aqueous dispersion or a cast film of a phosphate bilayer membrane. The energy transfer from Zn-Mb to the cyanine was more efficient in the cast film than in aqueous dispersion.
