Abstract
Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a well-known and established non-invasive method for quantification of physical parameters that preside over molecular mechanisms and dynamics. It combines maximum sensitivity and statistical confidence for the analysis of speed, size, and number of fluorescent molecules and interactions with surrounding molecules by time-averaging fluctuation analysis in a well-defined volume element. The narrow compass of this study is to acquaint the basic principle of diffusion and the FCS method in general regarding variable magnitudes and standardization adjustment. In this review, we give a theoretical introduction, examples of experimental applications, and utensils in solution systems with future perspectives.
期刊介绍：
Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics covers the field of experimental and computational biophysics. Experimental biophysics span across different physics-based measurements such as optical microscopy, super-resolution imaging, electron microscopy, X-ray and neutron diffraction, spectroscopy, calorimetry, thermodynamics and their integrated uses. Computational biophysics includes theory, simulations, bioinformatics and system analysis. These biophysical methodologies are used to discover the structure, function and physiology of biological systems in varying complexities from cells, organelles, membranes, protein-nucleic acid complexes, molecular machines to molecules. The majority of reviews published are invited from authors who have made significant contributions to the field, who give critical, readable and sometimes controversial accounts of recent progress and problems in their specialty. The journal has long-standing, worldwide reputation, demonstrated by its high ranking in the ISI Science Citation Index, as a forum for general and specialized communication between biophysicists working in different areas. Thematic issues are occasionally published.
