A kind of polymeric lipid vesicles (PLVs) with pH-responsive turning on-off membrane for programed delivery of insulin in gastrointestinal (GI) tract was developed, which was self-assembled from the grafted amphipathic polymer of N-tocopheryl-N'-succinyl-ɛ-poly-l-lysine (TP/SC-g-PLL). By controlling the grafting ratio of

Pyrene is one of the most frequently used lipid-linked fluorophores. Its most characteristic features are a long excited state lifetime and (local) concentration-dependent formation of excimers. Pyrene is also hydrophobic and thus does not significantly distort the conformation of the
Michael E Østergaard et al.
Chemical Society reviews, 40(12), 5771-5788 (2011-04-14)
Pyrene-functionalized oligonucleotides (PFOs) are increasingly explored as tools in fundamental research, diagnostics and nanotechnology. Their popularity is linked to the ability of pyrenes to function as polarity-sensitive and quenchable fluorophores, excimer-generating units, aromatic stacking moieties and nucleic acid duplex intercalators.

Although distance dependence of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is well-studied and FRET has been extensively applied as "molecular ruler", only limited examples of orientation-dependent FRET have been reported. To create a robust FRET system that precisely reflects the orientation
