    • Fluorescence intensity measurements were made with 2a as a function of umbrella/phospholipid ratio to test for self-quenching of membrane-bound umbrella. With an umbrella/phospholipid ratio of 1/30, the fluorescence intensity was ∼50% of that measured for the same umbrella concentration in solution in the absence of liposomes. As this ratio was decreased to 1/100, the fluorescence intensity returned to its original solution value; a further decrease to 1/300 left the fluorescence intensity unchanged. We interpret these results as a partial reduction in fluorescence intensity via self-quenching (when the umbrella/phospholipid ratio is 1/30), and negligible self-quenching when this ratio is 1/100.

    • In an attempt to obtain further support for a minor subpopulation of deep-lying umbrellas for 1b and 2b, we compared the fluorescence quenching of 1a, 1b, 2a, and 2b by 4-hydroxy Tempo in liposomal dispersions. Since deep-lying molecular umbrellas would be expected to exhibit different quenching behavior by 4-hydroxy Tempo relative to ones present in the aqueous phase and those lying at the surface of liposomes, this might be detectable by discontinuity in a Stern-Volmer plot. Such plots, however, did not reveal any discontinuities Supporting Information, The absence of a discontinuity in the case of 1b and 2b is presumed to be due to insufficient sensitivity of this approach as compared with the parallax method of analysis
