any case, very similar, probably within 1-2 Å of each other) Förster radii for energy transfer to CP. Through an analysis of the extent of fluorescence quenching of a donor by the acceptor in a FRET experiment it is possible to calculate a binding constant (K B ) between these two molecules. However, care must be taken when working in solutions where acceptors are highly concentrated, as it is often the case in experiments performed on liposomes. In these cases, when both donors and acceptors partition to the lipid bilayer and interact there, the concentration of acceptors around the donors increases dramatically relatively to a situation where they are both free in solution. FRET can be efficient at distances up to 100 Å depending on the Förster radius of the donor-acceptor pair [19] and therefore, donors in a medium highly concentrated in acceptors, besides being susceptible to fluorescence quenching due to formation of specific donor-acceptor complexes, are also quenched by non-bound, nearby acceptors. Only the first contribution is relevant for the determination of the binding affinity of the donoracceptor complex, and as the two contributions are not additive (Eq. 4), formalisms that accurately account for the contribution of non-bound acceptors for the experimentally measured energy transfer efficiencies must be derived, considering the geometrical peculiarities of the studied system. The donor fluorescence decay in the presence of acceptors (i DA (t)) is described as: i () t = γ ⋅i () t ⋅ρ () t ⋅ρ () t DA D bound nonbound ( γ ) + 1- ⋅i ( t) ⋅ρ () t D nonbound (4) where γ is the fraction of OmpF bound to CP, ρ bound is the FRET contribution from energy transfer to acceptors bound to Ompf, and ρ nonbound is the FRET contribution arising from energy transfer to non-bound acceptors, randomly distributed in different planes (i) from the donors. Contribution to FRET of non-bound acceptors. ρ nonbound for a cylindrically symmetric donor geometry is given by [20]: 116

In protein-ligand FRET studies the exclusion radius is particularly important if the size of the protein is comparable to the Förster radius of the donor-acceptor pair. In order to calculate ρ nonbound , a model must be used to describe the positions of the donors and acceptors in the bilayer. OmpF has two clear belts of aromatic residues at the lipid/water interface separated by 25 Å [21]. Both Trp’s (61 and 214) are located in the same aromatic belt and are assumed to be in the same plane, at 12.5 Å from the center of the bilayer. When incorporated in liposomes, CP is located in the headgroup region of the bilayer [22] and according to Nagle and Tristan-Nagle [23] for DMPC the headgroups average position is 18 Å away from the centre of the bilayer. In the FRET simulations this is considered to be the position of the plane of acceptors and w 1 and w 2 are assumed to be 5.5 Å and 30.5 Å (Fig. 4A). In our formalism we consider that there is no partition of non-bound CP in the bilayer area occupied by the OmpF trimer apart from the specifically bound population of antibiotic molecules. Trp 61 is located at the trimer interface (Fig. 4B) and the exclusion area for non-bound CP will be significant. R e (Eq. 5) of Trp 61 is assumed to be 30 Å which is the approximate diameter of an OmpF monomer in the bilayer plane [24] (Fig. 4B). On the other hand, Trp 214 is located in the periphery of the OmpF trimer and the distribution of non-bound CP around it will be cylindrically asymmetric. This difference in the distribution of acceptors sensed by the two donors (Trp 214 and Trp 61 ) can only be accounted through the use in the FRET simulations of two different ρ nonbound contributions. For Trp 61 the FRET contribution is simply given by Eq.5 and setting i = 2, w 1 = 5.5 Å, w 2 = 30.5 Å and R e = 30 Å. In the case of Trp 214 a large section of the bilayer is also occupied by the protein trimer itself and inaccessible to acceptors. However, this 117
