The trаnsverse diffusiоn оf phоspholipids in bilаyer membrаne was investigated by using a fluorescently labeled analog of phosphatidylserine called NBD-PS. The fluorescence signal of NBD-PS is quenched when exposed to sodium dithionite, a reducing agent that is not membrane permeable. Lipid vesicles containing phosphatidylserine (98%) and NBD-PS (2%) were prepared by sonication and purified. Within a few minutes of the addition of sodium dithionite, the fluorescence signal of these vesicles decreased to ~45% of its initial value. Immediately adding a second addition of sodium dithionite yielded no change in the fluorescence signal. However, if the vesicles were allowed to incubate for 6.5 hours, a third addition of sodium dithionite decreased the remaining fluorescence signal by 50%. How would you interpret the fluorescence changes at each addition of sodium dithionite?
