DCDHFs, modified to highlight their amphiphilic properties, serve as lipid-analogs in cell membranes. DCDHF-N-12 displayed similar performance to Tritc, a common lipid probe, in membrane studies. Research by Nishimura, et al. in J. Phys. Chem. B (2006, 110, 8151–8157).

DCDHFs as Membrane Analogs DCDHFs, modified to emphasize the amphiphilic nature of the molecules, can act as lipid-analogs. In the cell membrane, DCDHF-N-12 performed comparably to a popular lipid probe, Tritc. Nishimura, Lord, Klein, Willets, Lu, He, Twieg, Moerner. J. Phys. Chem. B2006, 110, 8151–8157.
