Measure the anisotropy of a membrane protein at a cell membrane.


EMSL Project ID
3454

Abstract

Cyclic nucleotide-gated channels play a key role in sensory transduction of both visual and olfactory systems. CNG channels have been labeled with dye molecules, and a control experiment is needed to characterize if the dye molecules can freely rotate or involve strong interactions with the cell membrane.
