Fluorescence methods are widely used in studies of biological and model membranes. The dynamics of membrane fluorescent markers in their ground and excited electronic states and correlations with their molecular surrounding within the fully hydrated phospholipid bilayer are still not well understood. In the present work, Quantum Mechanical (QM) calculations and Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are used to characterize location and interactions of two membrane polarity probes (Prodan; 6-propionyl-2-dimethylaminonaphthalene and its derivative Laurdan; 2-dimethylamino-6-lauroylnaphthalene) with the dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) lipid bilayer model. MD simulations with fluorophores in ground and excited states are found to be a useful tool to analyze the fluorescent dye dynamics and their immediate vicinity. The results of QM calculations and MD simulations are in excellent agreement with available experimental data.
