What is Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP)?
Ғылым және технология
FRAP is a microscopy technique that scientists use to determine the mobility of proteins inside living cells. In this video, Jayme Dyer explains how FRAP works, and how scientists used FRAP to better understand how cells crawl!

This was the best explanation for anything I've ever asked ever.

Thanks! 🥰
This is such a good video. It is clear that you guys know how to explain difficult htings in a way everybody can understand. Thanks!
Great explanation! Thank you for this video. Science can get overwhelming sometimes...until people like you simplify it, then, it is fun again!

Glad I could help make science fun again!
This is such a good content!
oh my gosh this was so helpful for my cell and molecular bio class amazing job and THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Such a good way of teaching. 10/10. I absolutely understand it now. Wish I met your channel earlier 😁
What a legendary explanation, Diamond. Thanks
Excellent video. Thank you!
great video! super cool
Could you go into more detail on what's happening in the sides of the fish keratin cell? If not much is known, maybe just an addendum to help define the 'tightly packed network'. Love your explanations :)

The sides of the cell are a lot like the back: actin is disassembled there to promote "pulling in" the sides so the cell moves forward and isn't torn in half! Actin filaments grow at one end and break down at the other end, and they can form branching structures with the help of accessory proteins (notably Arp2/3). Many, many proteins are involved in controlling how fast and where actin forms filaments! This video is just the tip of the iceberg on how actin contributes to cell crawling :)
Mam can you do a video on Fret technique
