Fluorescence characterization of protein and lipid dynamics

Fluorescence techniques were used to study the motion of protein domains in adenylate kinase, and to characterize the formation of myelin in neuron Schwann cell co-cultures. Domain motion upon substrate binding was examined in adenylate kinase using fluorescence resonance energy transfer. The process of myelin formation was examined by observing the growth and composition of myelin using a fluorescent ceramide analogue.
