The electronic and hydrodynamic properties of fluorescent texas red dyes have been investigated in confined and crowded reverse micellar environments. Various steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques such as UV-Vis absorption, fluorescence emission, Fluorescence Anisotropy, Dynamic Light scattering (DLS) as well as Time Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) techniques were employed to determine various photophysical parameters such as quantum yield, fluorescence lifetime, aggregation number and band shift etc. The results obtained in confined environments were compared with the results in aqueous environments. Our experimental observation shows that texas red behaves very differently in reverse micellar environment as compared to aqueous environment. Since reverse micelle mimics the cellular environment, our findings can be used as a protocol to study biomolecule dynamics inside confined reverse micellar environment.
