| Comments | "When the rotational mobility of small molecules in the cytoplasm is characterized in this fashion using electron spin resonance (Keith et al., 1977 Lepoeket al., 1983 Mastro et al., 1984) or steady-state fluorescence anisotropy techniques (Dix and Verkman, 1990 Lindmo and Steen, 1977), apparent rota- tional viscosities in the range 2 to 20 cP (water is 1 cP) are obtained." |
