 +**Abstract**
 +
 +Time series of digital images, usually called ‘a stack’, contains
 +temporal dynamics of position and intensity. By analyzing these
 +dynamics, we can extract numerical parameter which then enables us to
 +characterize the biological system. There are three types of dynamics.
 +(i) Position does not change but intensity changes over time. (ii)
 +Position changes but the intensity does not change. (iii) Both Position
 +and Intensity change over time. Since (iii) is a combination of (i) and
 +(ii), I will explain the basics of the measurement of type (i) and (ii).
 +An example of type (i) is the measurement of cargo transport dynamics in
 +vesicle trafficking (Hirschberg et al., 1998). Transition of protein
 +localization from ER to Golgi then to the plasma membrane was measured
 +over time by measuring the signal intensity in each statically
 +positioned compartment. This type of technique has evolved to various
 +sophisticated methods based on the same principle such as FRAP
 +technique. Type (ii) corresponds to the measurement of movement, or
 +object tracking, and an example is the single particle tracking of
 +membrane surface proteins (Murase et al., 2004).

 +{ FRAP reviews}
 +
 +Reviews on FRAP (Phair et al., 2004; Sprague and McNally, 2005). Another
 +review is a bit older, but good for overviewing classic literatures
 +(Reits and Neefjes, 2001)[^1].
 +
 +{ Models for FRAP analysis}
 +
 +**Diffusion:** Axelrod *et. al.*’s paper is a frequently cited classic
 +paper on FRAP (Axelrod et al., 1976). They measured pure diffusion.
 +Closed solution for Axelrod’s model was proposed later and still used by
 +many researchers (Soumpasis, 1983).
 +
 +Several empirical formula for fitting diffusion-FRAP can be found in
 +other literatures (Ellenberg et al., 1997; Yguerabide et al., 1982).
 +
 +**Reaction:** Jacquez ‘s book is good for learning the compartmental
 +analysis used for modelling reaction-dominant FRAP recovery  (Jacquez,
 +1972) The book is also informative and excellent for modelling
 +biochemical dynamics in general. Recent advances in biochemistry
 +incorporate interaction with immobile (non-diffusive) entity, which
 +radically changes the interpretation of parameter acquired by fitting
 +exponential equations (Bulinski et al., 2001; Sprague et al., 2004)  
 +
 +{ Advanced Models for FRAP}
 +
 +**Diffusion-Reaction:** Formula considering both diffusion and reaction
 +were recently proposed (Sprague et al., 2004). This paper is interesting
 +not only for this diffusion-reaction approach but also for derivation of
 +pure-diffusion, effective diffusion and reaction dominant FRAP.
 +
 +**Considerations on Membrane Architecture:** Mobility of proteins is
 +generally constrained by the complex architecture of intracellular
 +space, the shape of organelle. Such steric effects has been omitted from
 +FRAP analysis for the estimation mobility parameters e.g. diffusion
 +coefficient.  Recent literature includes this effect for the FRAP
 +analysis by reconstructing the ER membrane geometry by 3D rendering and
 +simulating the movement of protein along that geometry (Sbalzarini et
 +al., 2006; Sbalzarini et al., 2005).  
 +
 +{ Cytoplasmic Architecture}
 +
 +Diffusion within cytoplasm is not a simple pure-diffusion.
 +Cytoskeletons, organelle and supramolecular complexes become obstacles
 +to the movement of proteins. In a very small scale, the vacant spaces
 +between these structures allow the molecule to move around without
 +encountering these structures. In this vacant space, the cytoplasmic
 +viscosity is said to be similar to water, or 2-3 folds higher than
 +water. Measurement of small scale diffusion needs special techniques. On
 +the other hand, we also can measure the movement of molecules in a
 +larger scale. In this case, diffusion encounters steric hindrances and
 +bindng/reaction with other molecules. Diffusion coefficient that
 +includes this slowing factor is thus an *apparent diffusion*. More
 +specifically when the molecule mobility is slowed down due to
 +binding/reactions, this type pf diffusion is called *effective
 +diffusion*.
 +
 +To know more about microscopic diffusion and macroscopic diffusion
 +inside cell, refer to Luby-Phelps papers (Luby-Phelps, 1994;
 +Luby-Phelps, 2000).

 +links to many useful Macros for analyzing image-stacks.

 +[^1]:  Good for overviewing FRAP; but I don’t agree with statement such
 +    as below; Quote:  “*When motion due to active transport or
 +    unidirectional flow can be discounted, protein mobility in a cell is
 +    due to brownian motion.*”, because mobility in this case is defined
 +    by Brownian motion *and *the structural environment, which makes the
 +    FRAP curve fitting difficult.
