Popis: Summary: Here, we present a protocol for estimating nuclear transport parameters in single cells. We describe steps for performing four consecutive fluorescence recovery after photobleaching experiments, fitting the obtained data to an ordinary differential equations model, and statistical analysis of the fittings using a specialized R package. This protocol permits the estimation of import and export rates, nuclear or cytosolic fixed fractions, and total number of molecules.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Durrieu et al.1 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
