The uptake of cytochrome c by charged and neutral lipid monolayers was studied by using reflection spectroscopy. The method was shown to be a very sensitive and useful technique in studies of lipid-protein interactions. It was found that cytochrome c is preferentially bound to monolayers of negatively charged monolayers in the solid phase. Polarized light under oblique incidence was used to determine the average orientation of chromophores in cytochrome c bound to lipid monolayer. The transition moments of chromophore are oriented parallel to the monolayer plane.
