Porphyrins for probing electrical potential across lipid bilayer membranes by second harmonic generation.
Feeling the field! The intensity of second harmonic generation (SHG) from a porphyrin in a lipid bilayer is exceptionally sensitive to electric field, thus indicating that these dyes may be useful probes for electrical signals in excitable cells such as neurons. The porphyrin-based membrane probe (s...
