FRAP (Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching) experiment can be performed to test which proteins have free lateral mobility in membranes, and which proteins do not.
In FRAP, membrane proteins under study are fluorescently labeled first. Then very carefully, a specific portion of the membrane carrying such proteins is bleached using laser light (laser when falls on fluorescent molecules destroys the fluorescence). So the proteins from a specific region loses their fluorescent identity. Now the cell fluorescence is studied for some time. If the fluorescence comes back in the bleached region, then the proteins have free lateral mobility, which means the proteins from other regions of the membrane have freely diffused into the bleached region. And if the bleached region doesn't recover the fluorescence, then prptepro are relatively fixed in membranes and cannot easily laterally diffuse.
How do we know that some proteins have free lateral mobility in membranes, and other do...
what is the general structure of detergents? how do these affect membranes and membranes proteins? (this question is essential cell biology 4th edition chapter 11 membrane structure))
1A) Given what you know about cellular respiration, if we were to compare the protein content of the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes, what do you predict we would find? The amount of proteins is equivalent in the outer and inner membranes. The amount of proteins is greater in the outer membrane. The amount of proteins is greater in the inner membrane. 1B) Which of the following statements regarding glycolysis is FALSE? NADPH is produced The reactions do not require...
1. How do we know that electrons and other particles aren't spinning balls of charge? 2. If I say that an electron is a spin-1/2 particle, which of the following statement(s) is/are true? a) The magnitude of the spin vector is 1/2 b) The magnitude of the spin vector is hbar/2 c) The magnitude of the spin vector along some axis is 1/2 d) The magnitude of the spin vector along some axis is hbar/2
How do intermediate filaments connect to other cytoskeletal proteins?
In some ER proteins the signal sequence acts as a topogenic sequence. How do these sequences have a dual role regarding insertion into the lipid bilayer?
Epistemology addresses the question of how we know, that is, how do we know reality. In your opinion is an inductive or deductive approach to knowing reality better?
Problem 1. How many ways are there to place 8 rooks on a chess board in such a way that they cannot capture each other? Just in case some of you do not know the rules of chess, this is the same as: how many ways can we pick 8 points on an 8x8 grid such that every row and every column has at most one point on it?) Problem 1. How many ways are there to place 8 rooks...
Who were the Anasazi, where did they live, and how do we know what we do about them (what kind of evidance do we have left behind) ? According to fared Daimond , what is chaco's massage ?
FILL THE BLANK The membranes of fishes that live in extreme cold have a high proportion of _________________ hydrocarbon tails, enabling them to stay fluid.For example, cold-adapted organisms such as winter wheat increase the percentage of _________________ phospholipids in their membranes in the autumn to prevent the membranes from solidifying during winter.There are two major populations of membrane proteins: ___________ and _____________.Integral proteins penetrate the hydrophobic interior of the lipid bilayer, usually completely spanning the membrane as ________________ proteins.________________ proteins...
