GlossaryFluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching

technique to study molecular movement by observing fluorescence recovery

Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) is a technique used to study the movement and behavior of molecules within living cells. In this method, a specific region of a fluorescently labeled sample is intentionally bleached with intense light, and the recovery of fluorescence in that area is monitored over time. This helps researchers understand the dynamics of molecular diffusion, binding interactions, and cellular processes.
