Membrane viscosity is a key parameter in cell physiology, cell function, and cell signaling. The most common methods to measure changes in membrane viscosity are fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) and fluorescence anisotropy. Recent interest in a group of viscosity sensitive fluorophores, termed molecular rotors, led to the development of the highly membrane-compatible (2-carboxy...

A procedure is described for the specific acetylation of the lysine residues of ovalbumin. Six acetylated ovalbumins varying in the degree of modification from 21 to 98% were prepared and were found to be homogeneous by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, immunodiffusion, and immunoelectrophoresis. As expected, the anodic movement of ovalbumin increased and the isoionic point shifted to lower p...

Abstract Melt viscosity is one of the most critical physical properties controlling magma transport dynamics and eruptive style. Although measurements are widely used to study model flow behavior magmas, recent research has revealed that nanocrystallization Fe–Ti-oxides can compromise reliability data. This phenomenon occur during laboratory around glass transition temperature ( T g ) lead depl...
