Alternating amphiphilic multiblock molecules 1-4, involving fluorescent hydrophobic units, were designed as mimics for multipass transmembrane proteins. Fluorescence spectroscopy of 1-4 in liposomal membranes suggested the face-to-face stacking of the hydrophobic units to give folded structures as well as intermolecular assemblies.
