The order-disorder transition (melting) in membranes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The order-disorder transition, or melting, in membranes is a cooperative process that involves a collective change in the state of the membrane components. This transition can indeed be monitored using various techniques, including fluorescence techniques and spin labeling, making all the provided options correct. Fluorescence techniques can detect changes in the environment of fluorescent probes embedded in the membrane, while spin labeling involves attaching spin labels to specific sites in the membrane and using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) to monitor changes in their motion or environment.
