Fluorescent microscopy





Permits localization of specific cellular molecules
Fluorescent dyes “glow” against dark background
Dye may be indirectly or directly associated with
the cellular molecule
Multiple fluorescent dyes may be used simultaneously
Cells may be fixed or living

Transmission electron microscopy
(TEM)


Operates in vacuum
Specimen usually fixed, embedded, sectioned, and
stained
with an electron-dense material
Special techniques:
 Metal shadowing: visualize surface structures, cell
components
 Cryoelectron: visualize unfixed, unstained samples
 Freeze fracture, freeze etch: visualize membrane
interior
 Freeze etch: visualize cell interior

Purification of cell parts

Understanding the roles of each each cell component
depends on methods to break open (lyse) cells and
separate cell components for analysis

Cell lysis is accomplished by various techniques:
blender, sonication, tissue homogenizer, hypotonic
solution
Separation of cell components generally involves
centrifugation

Biomembranas



Fundamental structure and function of all cell
membranes depends on lipids (phospholipids, steroid
derivatives)
Specific function of each membrane depends on the
membrane proteins that are present in that specific
membrane
Membrane lipids and proteins may be glycosylated

Phospholipid structure
2001/2002
Prof. Doutor José Cabeda
Biologia Celular
Due to the amphipathic nature of
phospholipids, these molecules spontaneously
assemble to form closed bilayers
2001/2002
Prof. Doutor José Cabeda
Biologia Celular
Each closed compartment
has two faces
The two faces of a membrane
are asymmetric in terms of
lipid and protein composition

Prof. Doutor José Cabeda
Biologia Celular
Lipids and integral proteins
demonstrate lateral mobility in
biomembranes
“The Fluid Mosaic Model”
Mobility (diffusion) of a given membrane
components depends on:
 the size of the molecule
 its interactions with other molecules
 temperature
 lipid composition (tails, cholesterol)
Mobility can be measured by “FRAP”
