| Method |
These
studies (listed in primary source) used a variety of probes, including small molecules
(14, 15), latex beads (16), dextrans (17), Ficolls (17, 18),
and GFP (19). Most of this work focused on translational
motion, but one study examined rotational dynamics (19). |
| Comments |
All these data are consistent with the results from the 19F
study (BNID 106191) the eukaryotic cytoplasm decreases diffusion coefficients
1.5-3.8-fold, compared to dilute solution. Please note that attachment of GFP to the protein of interest adds 27
kDa of bulk to the target protein, and provides information
only about the environment of the fluorophore, which
occurs only once in the target protein. See BNID 106193 |
