Probing diffusion laws within cellular membranes by Z-scan fluorescence correlation spectroscopy.
The plasma membrane of various mammalian cell types is heterogeneous in structure and may contain microdomains, which can impose constraints on the lateral diffusion of its constituents. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) can be used to investigate the dynamic properties of the plasma membrane of living cells. Very recently, Wawrezinieck et al. (Wawrezinieck, L., H. Rigneault, D. Margu...
متن کاملProbing lipid mobility of raft-exhibiting model membranes by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy.
Confocal fluorescence microscopy and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) have been employed to investigate the lipid spatial and dynamic organization in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) prepared from ternary mixtures of dioleoyl-phosphatidylcholine/sphingomyelin/cholesterol. For a certain range of cholesterol concentration, formation of domains with raft-like properties was observed. S...
متن کاملDiffusion and binding properties investigated by Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS).
During the last years, Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) has proven to be a powerful tool for basic research in many applications. The combination of a minimal detection volume in the femtoliter range coupled with very high sensitivity extends the possibilities to design sensitive homogeneous tests. In this article we illustrate the analysis of binding processes with FCS based on the ...
متن کاملAnalysis of diffusion in egg white by Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy
Even if the intracellular environment is mainly composed by water, there are a lot of differences between diffusion inside the cell and diffusion in pure water. By measuring diffusion coefficients in the intracellular environment and comparing them with the corresponding values obtained in pure water, it’s possible to obtain informations on the structuring of the cell interior. In this bachelor...
متن کاملFluorescence correlation spectroscopy diffusion laws to probe the submicron cell membrane organization.
To probe the complexity of the cell membrane organization and dynamics, it is important to obtain simple physical observables from experiments on live cells. Here we show that fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) measurements at different spatial scales enable distinguishing between different submicron confinement models. By plotting the diffusion time versus the transverse area of the c...
