Abstract excerpt
Protein misfolding and aggregation are central features of the polyglutamine neurodegenerative disorders, but the dynamic properties of expanded polyglutamine proteins are poorly understood. Here, we use fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) and fluorescence loss in photobleaching (FLIP) with green fluorescent protein fusion proteins to study polyglutamine protein kinetics in living cells. Our results...
