Oscillations in the polarization of water in aqueous environments with glycolytic oscillations may induce oscillations in (lipid-rich membranous) regions where no biochemical oscillations are expected to appear. (A) Theoretical phase plot of oscillations of polarization of water in a region with no glycolytic oscillations (p₁) against the polarization of water in a region with glycolytic oscillations (p) generated by a Yang-Ling isotherm-based model of glycolytic oscillations. (B) Phase plot of Nile red fluorescence against the fluorescence of the three DAN probes: ACDAN (blue), PRODAN (red), and LAURDAN (grey). Reproduced from [13] and [15].
