Quantitative characterization of changes in dynamical behavior for single-particle tracking studies

D Montiel, H Cang, H Yang - The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2006 - ACS Publications
Single-particle tracking experiments have been used widely to study the heterogeneity of a
sample. Segments with dissimilar diffusive behaviors are associated with different …

Membrane heterogeneity–from lipid domains to curvature effects

S Semrau, T Schmidt - Soft Matter, 2009 - pubs.rsc.org
The interest in membrane heterogeneity started with two biological questions: how is the
plasma membrane organized on a microscopic scale and what is the influence of this …

Machine-learning-powered extraction of molecular diffusivity from single-molecule images for super-resolution map**

HH Park, B Wang, S Moon, T Jepson, K Xu - Communications Biology, 2023 - nature.com
While critical to biological processes, molecular diffusion is difficult to quantify, and spatial
map** of local diffusivity is even more challenging. Here we report a machine-learning …

Single molecules as optical nanoprobes for soft and complex matter

F Kulzer, T **a, M Orrit - Angewandte Chemie International …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
The optical signals of single molecules provide information about structure and dynamics of
their nanoscale environment, free from space and time averaging. These new data are …

Unveiling the inner workings of live bacteria using super-resolution microscopy

HH Tuson, JS Biteen - Analytical chemistry, 2015 - ACS Publications
Optical microscopy has proven to be one of the most powerful tools in biology, in part
because it allows direct, noninvasive visualization of dynamic processes inside live cells. It …

[HTML][HTML] Lipid diffusion in the distal and proximal leaflets of supported lipid bilayer membranes studied by single particle tracking

RL Schoch, I Barel, FLH Brown, G Haran - The Journal of Chemical …, 2018 - pubs.aip.org
Supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) have been studied extensively as simple but powerful
models for cellular membranes. Yet, potential differences in the dynamics of the two leaflets …

Optimizing experimental parameters for tracking of diffusing particles

CL Vestergaard - Physical Review E, 2016 - APS
We describe how a single-particle tracking experiment should be designed in order for its
recorded trajectories to contain the most information about a tracked particle's diffusion …

Quantifying biomolecule diffusivity using an optimal Bayesian method

G Voisinne, A Alexandrou, JB Masson - Biophysical Journal, 2010 - cell.com
We propose a Bayesian method to extract the diffusivity of biomolecules evolving freely or
inside membrane microdomains. This approach assumes a model of motion for the particle …
