Membranes and Fluorescence Microscopy
Fluorescence spectroscopy-based techniques using conventional fluorimeters have been extensively applied since the late 1960s to study different aspects of membrane-related phenomena, i.e., mainly relating to lipid-lipid and lipid-protein (peptide) interactions. Even though fluorescence spectroscopy approaches provide very valuable structurally and dynamically related information on membranes, ...
متن کاملScanning inverse fluorescence correlation spectroscopy.
Scanning Inverse Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (siFCS) is introduced to determine the absolute size of nanodomains on surfaces. We describe here equations for obtaining the domain size from cross- and auto-correlation functions, measurement simulations which enabled testing of these equations, and measurements on model surfaces mimicking membranes containing nanodomains. Using a confoca...
متن کاملScanning force microscopy of artificial membranes.
Visualization of biological membranes by scanning force microscopy (SFM) has tremendously improved the current understanding of protein-lipid interactions under physiological conditions. SFM is the only tool to directly image processes on surfaces in aqueous solution at molecular resolution. Besides being a supportive means to confirm results on lipid phases and domains obtained from fluorescen...
متن کاملTwo-photon laser scanning fluorescence microscopy.
Molecular excitation by the simultaneous absorption of two photons provides intrinsic three-dimensional resolution in laser scanning fluorescence microscopy. The excitation of fluorophores having single-photon absorption in the ultraviolet with a stream of strongly focused subpicosecond pulses of red laser light has made possible fluorescence images of living cells and other microscopic objects...
متن کاملNear-field scanning fluorescence microscopy study of ion channel clusters in cardiac myocyte membranes.
Near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) has been used to study the nanoscale distribution of voltage-gated L-type Ca2+ ion channels, which play an important role in cardiac function. NSOM fluorescence imaging of immunostained cardiac myocytes (H9C2 cells) demonstrates that the ion channel is localized in small clusters with an average diameter of 100 nm. The clusters are randomly distribu...
