Measuring Molecular Dynamics

Abstract

Obtaining information on the mobility of molecules in biomaterials is of interest to many fields in the life sciences, such as for cell biology and pharmacy. Advanced fluorescence microscopy techniques are available to this end and are constantly being improved. Here we will introduce the reader to three of the most important ones, FRAP, FCS and SPT, and briefly discuss how these techniques have been of use for our research in the drug delivery field.
