摘要
In this Letter, we describe the synthesis of amphiphilic oligo(p-phenylene)s from 31 to 44 Angstrom length and delineate the interaction of these rigid-rod molecules with lipid bilayers using fluorescence quenching methods. The results demonstrate high importance of hydrophobic mismatch for selective cell membrane recognition by rigid-rod molecules. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
