The structure of the postsynaptic membrane is highly heterogeneous and dynamic. Receptors are stabilized by a network that consists of scaffold proteins, adhesion proteins and the cytoskeleton, and ...

Fluorescence photobleaching recovery was used to measure the lateral diffusion coefficient and mobile fraction of surface immunoglobulin (sIg), Thy-1 antigen, and a lipid probe in the plasma membrane ...

The lateral diffusion of embedded proteins along lipid membranes in protein-poor conditions has been successfully described in terms of the Saffman–Delbrück (SD) model, which predicts that the protein ...

Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region where they are in high concentration to a region where they are in low concentration, and is one of the ways substances can move across the cell ...
