J. R. Lakowicz* and Jay R. Knutson abstract: Oxygen quenching of perylene fluorescence was used to vary its fluorescence lifetime. Steady-state fluorescence anisotropy measurements under these quenchingconditions were used to investigate the diffusive motions of perylene in the isotropic solvent propylene glycol and in lipid bilayers. These lifetime-resolved anisotropy measurements indicate that the anisotropy of perylene in propylene glycol decays to zero at times long compared to its fluorescence lifetime. In contrast, the asymptotic or “limiting” anisotropy values atthese long times (r „) are nonzero in vesicles of dimyristoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DMPC)./·„values are largest at tem-peratures below the DMPC phase transition temperature of 23 C. Representative values of for perylene in DMPC vesicles are 0.16 and 0.02 at 5 and 47 C, respectively. Thus, in contrast to the free rotations observed for perylene inIVIeasurements of the steady-state fluorescence anisotropies of membrane-bound fluorophores have become widely used in estimating the “microviscosity” of the acyl side chain region of lipid bilayers (Shinitzky et al., 1971; Cogan et al., 1973; Lentz et al., 1976; Brashford et al., 1976; Jacobson & Wob-schall, 1974) and of biological membranes (Moore et al., 1976; Helgerson et al., 1974). In the extrapolation from an observed fluorescence anisotropy to a microviscosity value for the membrane, one assumes that the nature of the depolarizing rotations of the fluorophore in the membrane and in the reference solvent is identical. By nature we mean the freedom and isotropy of these rotations. Recently this assumption was shown to be in error for the widely used microviscosity probe diphenylhexatriene (DPH) 1**(Kawato etal., 1977; Veatch & Stryer, 1977; Dale et al., 1977; Lakowicz & Prendergast, 1978; Lakowicz et al., 1979a, b), for 2-anilinonaphthalene (Badea et al., 1978), and for 1-anilino-8-naphthalenesulfonic acid (Kinosita et al., 1976). For each of these probes the diffusive motions in membranes were found to be hindered, as evidenced by the existence of nonzero anisotropy values at times long compared to the fluorescence lifetimes (r „). We now present evidence that another widely used microviscosity probe, pe-rylene, is also a hindered rotator when bound to lipid bilayers. In fact, it is the degree to which its rotations are hindered, and not its rotational rates, which determines the conventionally measured steady-state anisotropy. These observations illustrate the need for caution in the literal interpretation of membrane microviscosities derived from anisotropy measurements.
