In today's biological membrane research there are several unresolved inconsistencies. First, diffusion of the same molecules within biological membranes is found to be slower than their diffusion in model membranes by a factor of up to 10. Second, although based on partially insufficient data, deviations from normal diffusion, such as anomalous subdiffusion, have been reported. It is assumed that the spatial organization of membranes plays a key role in these changes in diffusive motion. However, the underlying physical principles that govern the relation between membrane structure and diffusion are not understood.

520 $a In today's biological membrane research there are several unresolved inconsistencies. First, diffusion of the same molecules within biological membranes is found to be slower than their diffusion in model membranes by a factor of up to 10. Second, although based on partially insufficient data, deviations from normal diffusion, such as anomalous subdiffusion, have been reported. It is assumed that the spatial organization of membranes plays a key role in these changes in diffusive motion. However, the underlying physical principles that govern the relation between membrane structure and diffusion are not understood.
520 $a The systematic study of these problems requires the use of new methods that probe diffusion on the nanometer scale of individual diffusive particles, in well defined membrane model systems. To meet this necessity we have developed two new techniques. The first tracks the motion of gold labeled lipids in homogeneous lipid monolayers. Our investigations show that the diffusion in this system is normal over almost three decades in time and the obtained diffusion coefficients are consistent with those previously obtained using ensemble methods. Our second method uses fluorescent beads 100 nm in diameter that are imbedded in inhomogeneous DMPE (1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-2-phosphoethanolamine) monolayers. This method is capable of simultaneously imaging the motion of the particle and the monolayer structure. This permits the detailed study of the impact of membrane structures on diffusive behavior. We find that pure obstruction does not lead to a change in diffusive behavior. However, more complex interactions, such as dipole-dipole interactions, between domains and diffusive probe can lead to transitions between regimes of normal diffusion with different diffusion coefficients on different time and length scales.
520 $a Although the membrane models used are simple compared with real cell membranes, they show that interactions between membrane structures and diffusing moieties can determine diffusive speed. Such mechanisms would be sufficient for the cell to regulate functions that rely on diffusion within the membrane. An example for such a task is intracellular signaling. Its proper functioning could be severely impacted by changes in membrane morphology as they occur for example, during Alzheimer's disease.
