Simultaneous optical and electrical recording of single gramicidin channels.
We report here an approach for simultaneous fluorescence imaging and electrical recording of single ion channels in planar bilayer membranes. As a test case, fluorescently labeled (Cy3 and Cy5) gramicidin derivatives were imaged at the single-molecule level using far-field illumination and cooled CCD camera detection. Gramicidin monomers were observed to diffuse in the plane of the membrane wit...
متن کاملSuspended lipid bilayer for optical and electrical measurements of single ion channel proteins.
Making and holding an artificial lipid bilayer horizontally in an aqueous solution within the microscopic working distance of ~100 μm are essential for simultaneous single molecule imaging and single ion-channel electrical current recording. However, preparation of such a lipid bilayer without a solid support is technically challenging. In a typical supported lipid bilayer, the asymmetric local...
متن کاملFabrication of Neural Probes for Simultaneous in Vivo Optical Stimulation and Electrical Recording in the Brain
Visual awareness, using a number of perceptual paradigms such as binocular rivalry and visual detection, has been studied for decades. Most researches focused on how activation of brain components, in particular, the cortex changes in line with the organism’s level of awareness. However, little emphasis is put on the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in response to transitions to and from awarenes...
متن کاملAn evidence for a potassium channel in endoplasmic reticulum based on single channel recording in bilayer lipid membrane
Introduction Numerous studies have demonstrated the presence of potassium selective channels in membranes internal organelles. These channels are essential to a large variety of cellular processes including intracellular 2+ a signaling, protein recycling, charge neutralization and cell protection. In contrast to the sarcoplasmic reticulum + here potassium channels have been clearly ...
متن کاملOptical single-channel recording by imaging Ca2+ flux through individual ion channels: theoretical considerations and limits to resolution.
Recent developments in microscopy and fluorescent indicators now make it possible to monitor the activity and localization of membrane ion channels by imaging Ca(2+) flux through individual channels. Such optical approaches have advantages over electrophysiological single-channel techniques in that they are less invasive, provide spatial information and can simultaneously and independently moni...
