Scanning Confocal Microscopy.
Protein Translocation/Imaging.
The Norton Group uses
Scanning Confocal Microscopy to determine the location of
proteins in live cells. With signaling molecules, protein
translocation can be observed as the distribution of protein
molecules evolve with time.
One particular example
of these studies involves tagging proteins in mammalian cells with
GFP. This effort is well illustrated in David Butler's GFP
Page.
Matt Weimer is investigating
the proteomics of melanoma.
These tools and others
are utilized to aid in understanding nanomachines and their
related elements through nanotechnology. Contact Norton Laboratories
