The dynamics of biomolecules in the plasma membrane is of fundamental importance to understanding cellular processes. Cellular signaling often starts with extracellular ligand binding to a membrane receptor, which then transduces an intracellular signal. Ligand binding and receptor-complex activation often involve a complex rearrangement of proteins in the membrane, which results in changes in diffusion properties. Two widely used methods to characterize biomolecular diffusion are single-particl ...[more]
