Abstract:
A mathematical model of the fluorescence decay experiment based on linear systems theory is presented. The model suggests an experimental technique that increases the probability of correctly determining the decay constants of a multicomponent system. The use of moment methods for data analysis improves accuracy by combining information obtained from several discrete experiments. Examples are presented to show that the analysis of a three component system composed of known standards is improved as the number of experimental determinations is increased from one to four. The discrete measurements are made by changing the excitation and emission wavelengths.

Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...
