Advanced Fluorescence Microscopy to Study Plasma Membrane Protein Dynamics

Advanced Fluorescence Microscopy to Study Plasma Membrane Protein Dynamics

Membrane protein dynamics is of great importance for living organisms. The precise localization of proteins composing a synapse on the membrane facing a nerve terminus is essential for proper functioning of the nervous system. In muscle fibers, the nicotinic acetylcholine is densely packed under the...
