• As shown by Saffman and Delbruck, the translational diffusion coefficient for membrane components depends only on the size of the membrane spanning domain

Diffusion Constant: What controls it?
A way of understanding diffusion: Random Walk
Spread of molecules from one spot is proportional to square root of time for random walk. Therefore, to go 2X as far takes 4X as long.
Spot Photobleaching
•Bleach and monitor single diffraction limited spot •Assumes infinite reservoir of fluorescent molecules (hole can fill back in) •Use D = w2/4D to obtain D •Determine w = nominal width of Gaussian spot by other optical method 1/e2 point •Fit fluorescence recovery curve to obtain D
Cartoon of FRAP
Bleach creates “hole” of fluorophores, Diffusion is measured by “hole filling in”
Bleach high power Monitor low power
Analysis of membrane
• Now can be done with laser scanning confocal instruments. (for some cases-e.g. membranes)

Different bleaching geometries yield different types of information

Problems with FRAP of cytoplasmic components (2 orders of magnitude faster
than membranes)
1. Diffusion is fast compared to bleaching and monitoring rate D=ms : cannot truly scan
• Random thermal motions: D = kTv/f
• f depends on size of particle and viscosity of solution.
Spheres: scale as m1/3 (radius scaling)
FRAP - Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching
1. Line photobleaching generates a one-dimensional diffusion problem
Note that beam is still Gaussian Line scan of single points

Allows collection of more fluorescence, averaging
• Detector: PMT, camera ?
• Original apparatus used stationary laser spot (still sometimes used)
• Later improvement included scanning mirror to scan spot over sample.
Scanning over bleach spot improves ability to characterize recovery curves
• Allows accurate characterization of the bleach geometry and size for each individual experiment
e.g. Luby-Phelps et al., 1994. SekSek et al. 2019.

sizes
Binding to immobilized matrix will reduce fraction of molecules diffusing
2 If use small bleach regions, redistribution may occur during bleaching. In fact, often cannot observe bleach of small region at all.
3. By enlarging the size of the bleach region, can overcome this problem: but lose localization
Diffusion of membrane components can be seen as a two dimensional diffusion problem
• Membrane is modeled as infinite plane
• Viscosity of the lipid bilayer is ~ 2 orders of magnitude higher than water

Cells expressing VSVG–GFP were incubated at 40 °C to retain VSVG–GFP in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) under control conditions (top panel) or in the presence of tunicamycin (bottom panel). Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) revealed that VSVG– GFP was highly mobile in ER membranes at 40 °C but was immobilized in the presence of tunicamycin(Nehls et al,
2000 Nature Cell Biology)
Experimental Setup
• Laser beam focused or through small field diaphragm
• Rapid shutter to switch from high powered beam for bleach to attenuated beam for recovery same power won’t work-Keep bleaching)
Fast limit: cytoplasm Slow limit: membrane bound
Suggests barriers (cristae) need to be large

• Allows compensation for photobleaching during monitoring and sample drift.
Photobleaching of cytoplasmic components
Another solution is to use geometry such depth of field is comparable to thickness of cell

Photobleaching of cytoplasmic components
One solution is to measure cytoplasmic diffusion by comparing to characteristic times of known samples in solutions of known viscosity.
