Abstract:
We propose SMART FRAP, a robust FRAP quantitative analysis method that is insensitive to either the shape or size of the bleached region. It can not only accurately and quantitatively determine the diffusion coefficient, but also provide other essential properties of phase separation that are unobtainable by other methods.
