G12 is commonly used to denote the cross-correlation and G1 and G2 for the autocorrelation of the individual detectors. Sometimes you will see Gx(0) or C(0) used for the cross-correlation.

Emission side:(1) Chromatic aberrations(2) Spherical aberrations(3) Improper alignment of detectors or pinhole

What if the distance/orientation is not constant?

• FCS can determine the rate at which this occurs
• This will yield hard to get information (in the s to ms range) on the internal motion of biomolecules

[Truong, 2001 #1293] Calmodulin undergoes a conformational change that allows the
ECFP/EYFP FRET pair to get cl ose enough for efficient energy transfer. Fluctuations
between the folded and unfolded states will yield a measurable kinetic component for the
cross-correlation. B) Simulation of how such a fluctuation would show up in the

background Addition of fluorescent antibody to GUV
The GUVs were made from rat kidney brush-border membrane extract containing all the integral membrane proteins. The antibody against one specific membrane protein (NaPi II) was labeled with Alexa 488, no enhanced fluorescence was observed on the GUV membrane bilayers. Performing FCS measurements on the bilayers was difficult due to the lack of contrast.

Protein Interactions on GUVs Detected by Scanning FCS
The GUV is made out of whole membrane extract from the basolateral membrane (BLM) of OKP cells.
The antibody labeled with Alexa488 was against NaPi II cotransporter. This protein was suppose to be present in the BLM. This experiment proved that our GUV generation method also incorporated the membrane proteins. It is relatively close to the natural composition of the plasma membrane.

Conclusions
Scanning FCS is feasible both in solution, in model membranes and in cells
When the characteristic times for diffusion (or reactions) are about 1 ms or longer, it could be convenient to perform scanning FCS
Scanning FCS provides autocorrelation functions at many positions in the sample in a multiplexing way
Scanning FCS offers the possibility to distinguish processes such as true diffusion and flow from local movements
Scanning FCS allows to clearly distinguish the location (and movements) of membranes proteins and membrane domain while performing FCS measurements
Scanning FCS can be used to determine with nanometer precision the positions of particles (molecules) and membranes
