1,6-Diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene

1,6-Diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene is a probe for lipid mono- and bilayers. It localizes to the hydrocarbon regions in lipid mono- and bilayers and displays excitation/emission maxima of 360/430 nm, respectively. 1,6-Diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene has been used to characterize lipid membrane dynamics in vitro and ex vivo and in the determination of the critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) of anionic, cationic, uncharged, and zwitterionic detergents.Formal Name: 1,1'-(1,3,5-hexatriene-1,6-diyl)bis-benzene.
