Figure 1.
(A) DOPC vesicles labelled with NBD-PE (green) coexisting with 4:1 DOPC:CL vesicles (unlabelled) and Alexa Fluor 568 labelled cyt c (red). The cyt c only binds detectably to the CL-containing vesicles. (B) Phase separated vesicles containing 10% CL, 25% chol, 27.5% DOPC, 37.5% DPPC (0.5% Rh-PE, 0.5% NBD-PE). The Rh-PE (red) labels the Ld phase and the NBD-PE (green) labels the Lo phase. (C) Phase separated CL-containing vesicles labelled only with the NBD-PE lipid probe (green) in solution with Alexa Fluor 568 labelled cyt c (red). The cyt c only binds detectably to the CL-containing Ld domains. The insets represent the separate red and green fluorescence channels that are collected and superimposed to create the composite image.
