What We’re Reading: November 9th

Review: Single-particle tracking for the quantification of membrane protein dynamics in living plant cells Real-time tracking is a hugely powerful way to understand the behavior of single proteins. Cui et al. review the methods and applications of single-particle tracking (SPT) in plant cells. They describe the applications of variable-angle total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (VA-TIRFM) […]
