CMC determination for PtdIns(4,5)P2(di-C16). (A) The wavelength of the 1-pyrenecarboxaldehyde fluorescence maximum at varying PtdIns(4,5)P2(di-C16) concentrations was monitored under kinetic assay conditions (79) for excitation at 380 nm (89). The emission data were fit to fifth-order polynomials (curves shown) in GraphPad Prism to determine the position of the maxima. (B) The shift in emission wavelength with lipid concentration was fit to a Boltzmann sigmoid function in Prism. The inflection point, considered the CMC, occurs at 3.0 μM PtdIns(4,5)P2(di-C16).
