The fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) technique has been used to study:
A) membrane composition.
B) the lateral diffusion in membranes.

D) All of the above.
E) None of the above.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) technique is used to study the lateral diffusion of molecules within membranes. This allows researchers to understand the dynamic behavior of proteins in the membrane and how they interact with other molecules. While membrane composition and protein structural motifs may be inferred through FRAP data, they are not the primary focus of this technique.
