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 with comments or inquiries. Michael L. Norton Ph. D.
