Sulforhodamine 101 DHPE, a fluorescent probe, results from the conjugation of sulforhodamine 101, a redfluorescentdye with excitation emission spectra of 586 605 nm, to the phospholipid 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-PE. It effectively integrates into phospholipid bilayers and is utilized for imaging solid supported lipid bilayers, detecting protein-ligand interactions on bilayers, and monitoring lipid probe colocalization in liposomes through resonance energy transfer (RET).
