Membrane lipids hop in and out of rafts in the blink of an eye
(PHYSorg.com Biology)
 


Researchers in Japan, India and France have found that molecules move into and out of a specialized region of the cell membrane, called the `raft domain`, at unexpectedly fast rates. The discovery was made possible by developing fluorescent compounds that are structurally similar to a special class of lipids called sphingomyelins, and by using a home-built fluorescent microscope sensitive enough to detect single fluorescent molecules.
