FRAP is a technique to detect ___________(a) Membrane proteins(b) Transporting ions(c) Cholesterol patches(d) Cannot be determinedI got this question in a national level competition.I want to ask this question from Cellular Membranes topic in section Cellular Membranes of Cell Biology

Answer»

Right CHOICE is (a) Membrane proteins

Easy explanation: Fluorescence recovery after photo bleaching (FRAP) is a process by which researchers follow the movement of proteins in cell membranes. A particular membrane protein can be LABELED USING a specific probe, such as a fluorescent antibody. If the labeled proteins are MOBILE, RANDOM movement of these molecules produce a gradual reappearance of fluorescence in an irradiated circle.
