Fluorescent Protein Aided Insights on Plastids and their Extensions: A Critical Appraisal
Multi-colored fluorescent proteins targeted to plastids have provided new insights on the dynamic behavior of these organelles and their interactions with other cytoplasmic components and compartments. Sub-plastidic components such as thylakoids, stroma, the inner and outer membranes of the plastid envelope, nucleoids, plastoglobuli, and starch grains have been efficiently highlighted in living...
متن کاملApplication of FITC for detecting the binding of antiangiogenic peptide to HUVECs
Angiogenesis is the generation of new blood vessels from the existing vasculature. The angiogenic programme requires the degradation of the basement membrane, endothelial cell migration and invasion of the extracellular matrix, with endothelial cell proliferation and capillary lumen formation before maturation and stabilization of the new vasculature. Angiogenesis is dependent on a delicate equ...
متن کاملVisual Discrimination of Membrane Domains in Live Cells by Widefield Microscopy
Membrane dynamics is a fast-evolving field with the many new methods and probes being developed each year affording ever increased insights into how membranes behave in the laboratory. Typically, these developments are first tested in model membranes using high-cost, bespoke microscopes which often employ confocal and two-photon systems and which give little consideration to preservation of cel...
متن کاملEvaluating mitochondrial membrane potential in cells.
Permeant cationic fluorescent probes are widely employed to monitor mitochondrial transmembrane potential and its changes. The application of such potential-dependent probes in conjunction with both fluorescence microscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy allows the monitoring of mitochondrial membrane potential in individual living cells as well as in large population of cells. These approaches t...
متن کاملRecent developments in molecular dynamics simulations of fluorescent membrane probes.
Due to their sensitivity and versatility, the use of fluorescence techniques in membrane biophysics is widespread. Because membrane lipids are non-fluorescent, extrinsic membrane probes are widely used. However, the behaviour of these probes when inserted in the bilayer is often poorly understood, and it can be hard to distinguish between legitimate membrane properties and perturbation resultin...
