Overview• Problems with fluorescence methodology• Variation of relaxational methods• Monitors minute intrinsic changes in fluorescence

Overview
Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy
• < 1 fL focal volume• Measures the residence time
and the changes in fluorescence intensity that occur while the molecule is localized within the focal volume
• High spatial and temporal resolution at low [fluorophore]

FCS Instrumentation• First applied to solution
studies• Later adapted to
fluorescence microscopy• Later combined with
confocal imaging• Can be adapted to
common epifluorescence microscopes!!!
• Requires laser source, hardware correlator and pinhole barrier between emitted radiation and a APD

Theoretical Brownian diffusion behaviour
D = kbT / 6R
Correlation time
D = o2 / 4D
Therefore the average dwell time for a freely diffusing molecule is about 170 sec

Applications - Cellular Hormone Binding
• Insulin• Receptor levels
diagnostic for Type II diabetes
• Typically done by radioligand assays– drawbacks
• By FCS using rhodamine labeled insulin
• Receptor aggregation or multiple sites??

Applications – Lipid Dynamics
DiI-C18
1,1’-dioctadecyl-3,3,3’,3’-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate
Preferentially localizes to regions containing saturated, long-chain phospholipids
Excluded from sphingomyelin
GM1
ganglioside sphingomyelin or glycosphingolipid
Raft marker that localizes to sphingomylein rich regions
