Individual fluorescence spectra for species in a heterogeneous system can be determined by using differences between the rotational correlation times of those components. Each spectrum derived is associated with a particular fluorescence anisotropy decay function; hence, they are anisotropy decay associated spectra (ADAS). We have previously shown [Knutson, J. R., Walbridge, D. G., & Brand, L. (1982) Biochemistry 21, 4671-4679] that a system containing different decay functions for total intensity can be resolved into constituent decay-associated spectra. ADAS extends the technique into the realm of fluorescence polarization, making use of the often disparate Brownian rotations found in heterogeneous biochemical systems. In this paper, we present the basic theory for ADAS in various heterogeneous systems and then present an example of ADAS resolving a binary mixture of macromolecules into "fast-rotor" (smaller or more mobile) and "slow-rotor" (larger or less mobile) components. They correctly superimpose spectra taken for the unmixed components. In the companion paper [Davenport, L., Knutson, J. R., & Brand, L. (1986) Biochemistry (following paper in this issue)], a specific application to a problem of importance of lipid biochemistry--e.g., the origin of the membrane probe order parameter in lipid bilayers--is presented, demonstrating the role rotational heterogeneity may play in biochemical fluorescence.
