Abstract

The interaction of small molecules, such as drugs or metabolites, with proteins and biomembranes is of fundamental importance for their bioavailability. The systematic characterization of the binding affinity for structurally related ligands may provide rules that allow its prediction for any other relevant molecule. In this work we have studied a homologous series of fluorescent fatty amines with the fluorescent moiety 7-nitrobenz-2- ...
